The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.

This 140-year-old skeleton of a finback whale hangs over the Museum of Zoology, the building having been specially designed with a space for it. It's good for surprising new visitors to the New Museums Site, and tourists who glimpse it from Pembroke Street.
