Integrated Exhibits

Integrated Exhibits can use many forms of murals and models. The model pictured below, is a durable interactive model of the jaws of a blue whale. Baleen whales, like the blue whale, lack teeth and instead feed with plates of baleen. The model retained important details such as the krill deposited on the tongue during feeding.
