American Museum of Natural History
Stand Beneath a 94-Foot Blue Whale
Discover
The American Museum of Natural History’s Milstein Family Hall of Ocean Life explores marine life through displays, dioramas, and interactive exhibits. One of its best-known features is a 94-foot blue whale model suspended from the ceiling. The Museum’s permanent collection spans more than 40 galleries, so this hall is one possible starting point rather than a complete museum itinerary.
Fun facts
- The suspended blue whale model is 94 feet long, according to the Museum.
- The Hall of Ocean Life includes models of more than 750 marine organisms.
- Its displays include habitat dioramas and ocean ecosystem exhibits.
Before you go
- Check the Museum’s weekly temporary-closure notice; individual halls may close for maintenance or events.
- Use the official map to choose a manageable set of galleries rather than assuming every hall is open.

In the American Museum of Natural History’s Hall of Ocean Life, a 94-foot blue whale model hangs above displays exploring marine life and ocean ecosystems. Look up for the scale; then look around for the dioramas and smaller details. Check the Museum’s temporary-closure page before choosing which galleries to visit.
What would you notice first: the whale above or the exhibits around it?
