The **MCZ** installed skeletons of a northern bottlenose whale and a killer whale in the main lobby of the Northwest Laboratory Building at 52 Oxford Street. The whales were formerly on display in the MCZ until the Sea Mammal exhibit was dismantled in the 1930s, and were subsequently stored in the attic of the museum. The installation was featured in the [*Harvard Gazette*](http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2010/02/new-life-for-old-whale-exhibit/).
