The Beaty Biodiversity Museum is a large museum located on the University of British Columbia campus. It contains over two million specimens, including a large 80-foot (24.38-meter) display of a skeleton of a blue whale that washed up in Tignish, Prince Edward Island in the mid-1980s. Its layout is unique in a way that both the visitors and researchers share the space, rather than segregating the two into separate sections of the building.
