Museum director Michael Dixon said in a statement that the new whale skeleton, which came from a whale stranded in Wexford Harbour in 1891, "is a powerful reminder of the fragility of life and the responsibility we have towards our planet".

Hintze Hall re-opens to the public tomorrow following a six month refurbishment programme, after two years of planning. A diving blue whale skeleton suspended from the ceiling is at the heart of the refurbishment and will lead a cast of natural world stars, including ten other star displays in the ground floor alcoves called the Wonder Bays, and hundreds of new specimens altogether across three floors.

『The Duchess of Cambridge gives a speech』

Like many of you here tonight, I remember visiting the Natural History Museum as a child, and being inspired with a love of nature. And now, as a parent myself, I am experiencing the joy all over again with my own children, who adore coming here, and it is not just to see the T-Rex mind you.

Who could fail to be inspired standing here in this wonderful hall. It is so fitting to see the ocean now taking centre stage, with many other marine specimens as star attractions in this splendid Hintze Hall.

As we are increasingly learning, marine conservation is a global challenge, for all nations and all people.

I, personally, have always been in awe of the sea. As someone who has been fortunate to experience scuba diving, something I love doing, and seeing the incredible marine life, I have come to care deeply about life under our waters and the conservation of our oceans.

Sir David Attenborough has famously talked about the fact that people will not protect what they don’t first care about, and will not care about what they have never experienced. This idea lies at the heart of this new Hintze Hall design. As I stand here tonight, I have every confidence that this spectacular display will go a long way not only inspire a new generation but it will also encourage us all to think about and to care for our marine life.

Our Blue Whale, Hope, at the heart of the museum will help the millions of visitors that come here each year, experience the wonders of our oceans.

So, as Patron of the Natural History Museum it gives me great pleasure to declare the new Hintze Hall open.

I now have the honour of introducing a great friend of this Museum, and somebody who has perhaps done more than anybody else on the planet to inspire a love of nature - Sir David Attenborough.

-----------------------------------------

Hintze Hall will reopen to the public on Friday following six months of refurbishment, and its displays will include a dinosaur fossil - an 120 million-year-old Mantellisaurus, found on the Isle of Wight in 1917

warmly greeted by Sir David Attenborough
famous naturalist

She told him: "It tells a completely different story.
"You must have seen they've made a few changes here over the years."

The skeleton now on display in Hintze Hall is from a whale that became stranded in 1891 in Wexford Harbour, Ireland, 10 years after the Museum opened in South Kensington

The Atlantic blue marlin, one of the biggest and fastest-swimming fish in the world and one of the largest specimens preserved whole in fluid in the Museum's collections.

After speeches, Kate watched a musical performance in the hall before joining a short reception

Scientists, curators, conservators and engineers worked on the blue whale skeleton for months - mostly in an off-site warehouse due to its enormous size – cleaning and preparing it for its new home in Hintze Hall. The 25.2-metre skeleton arrived back at the museum in April.

The NHM noted "The blue whale is the largest known animal to have lived on Earth. Driven to the brink of extinction by hunting, it was one of the first species that humans took action to save. It tells a story of hope. In 1966, it became the first animal to be protected by international law, after decades of aggressive hunting by humans. After hunting was banned by the International Whaling Commission in 1966, blue whale numbers began to slowly recover. Placing this whale in the heart of the museum is a public reminder of humanity's responsibility to protect our fragile planet."
