EDITORS COMMENTS
Whale Hall, 1932: A Glimpse into the Majestic Past of Europe's Premier Cetacean Exhibition Step back in time to the roaring twenties and immerse yourself in the grandeur of Whale Hall, a remarkable indoor exhibition space dedicated to the display of the largest and most magnificent creatures of the deep sea. Located in Europe, likely in Great Britain, this impressive hall was a testament to the fascination and wonder that the continent held for the mysterious world of cetaceans. The image captures the essence of a daytime visit to this extraordinary space, with its high ceilings bathed in natural light filtering through large windows. The vast interior is filled with awe-inspiring displays of various species of whales, each meticulously preserved and presented for all to marvel at. The collection spans the entirety of the cetacean order, including the sperm, humpback, and blue whales, among others. The epithets 'eutherian,' 'cetacean,' and 'epitherian' are scientific terms used to describe mammals that live in water and give birth to live young, making whales an excellent example of this classification. The intricate detail and care put into the preservation of these animals' remains showcase the dedication and passion of the curators and researchers of the time. Whale Hall served as an archive and gallery, a place where knowledge and appreciation for these magnificent creatures could be shared and celebrated. The 1930s marked a pivotal period in the study and conservation of whales, and this hall stood as a symbol of progress and discovery. Today, it remains an important reminder of the rich history and enduring fascination with these majestic animals.
