The Oozing Whale Skeleton of New Bedford

New Bedford, MA

A huge blue whale skeleton called KOBO hangs in the New Bedford Whaling Museum and famously continued leaking natural oil for years after preparation. The massive bones are surrounded by one of the country's most extensive whaling collections.

Filed under museums: small, specific collections run by people who care far too much.
