The Nationally renowned museum, the Ontario Museum is currently working on cleaning bones of two deceased blue whales, whose carcasses washed on shore out by Trout River and Rocky Harbour, Newfoundland. At first the workers must work on removing the dead flesh from the carcass. They hope to put the bones on display.One skeleton will end up back in NL in Newfoundland's Memorial University. Meanwhile the other one is be transported to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. If enough money can be raised, it's hoped both will be displayed in a few years. The cleaning of the carcasses is said to take a little over 1 year.
