Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History The Sant Ocean Hall

I spent the weekend in Washington DC visiting a close friend from college. I went straight from the bus to the museum of course. I bee-lined it straight to the ocean hall of course. While smaller than the American Museum of Natural History's Milstein Hall of Ocean Life, they had many real specimens on exhibit. The large blue whale at AMNH is much more impressive however. This photo was taken from the second floor of the museum.
