Dan DenDanto and the Maine State Museum’s Whale Exhibit

On October 24, 2024, the Friends of the Maine State Museum welcomed Dan DenDanto of Allied Whale as the featured speaker for their annual meeting. Dan walked the audience through the work he has been doing to prepare two whale skeletons, an adult female humpback (known as Vector to the scientists that tracked her) and a calf. They will become an awe-inspiring new exhibit, Vector: A Whale’s Life in the Gulf of Maine when the museum reopens in 2026.
