You step through the arched entrance and the hall settles around you — cool stone, cataloged shadows and the 25‑metre blue whale suspended like a slow-moving cloud above a crowd of heads. A guide points out jawlines and vertebrae; the building itself speaks in carved terracotta and Victorian ambition.
