A rare glimpse inside Britain's secret vault of whale skeletons
The Natural History Museum's legendary cetacean collection - a hoard of bones of 6,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises, so valuable that the museum keeps the location under wraps - could hold the key to the long-term future of these species.
Behind a 10-foot tall door, in a secret location, lies a treasure trove of bones. Some of the biggest bones are laid out on storage units made of scaffolding, others are stacked against each other on racks - rows and rows of specimens. The smallest are tucked into drawers of faded-yellow metal cabinets. A selection of skulls lies on a low table; crudely stuffed animals hang from the painted breezeblock walls. Everything is carefully labelled.
This vast room houses the Natural History Museum's cetacean collection - a globally unique hoard of 6,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises.
"It's visually stunning, yes, but also incredibly scientifically and culturally significant," says Richard Sabin, the Natural History Museum's principal curator of mammals. "You're looking at one of the best research collections of its kind in the world - what makes it unique is the species representation."

A rare glimpse inside Britain's secret vault of whale skeletons
The Natural History Museum's legendary cetacean collection - a hoard of bones of 6,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises, so valuable that the museum keeps the location under wraps - could hold the key to the long-term future of these species.
Behind a 10-foot tall door, in a secret location, lies a treasure trove of bones. Some of the biggest bones are laid out on storage units made of scaffolding, others are stacked against each other on racks - rows and rows of specimens. The smallest are tucked into drawers of faded-yellow metal cabinets. A selection of skulls lies on a low table; crudely stuffed animals hang from the painted breezeblock walls. Everything is carefully labelled.
This vast room houses the Natural History Museum's cetacean collection - a globally unique hoard of 6,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises.
"It's visually stunning, yes, but also incredibly scientifically and culturally significant," says Richard Sabin, the Natural History Museum's principal curator of mammals. "You're looking at one of the best research collections of its kind in the world - what makes it unique is the species representation."
