Admire the largest skeleton in the Netherlands
The impressive skeleton of a fin whale hangs in Ecomare's Sea Aquarium. At 24 meters, this whale was the largest animal that ever washed ashore in the Netherlands. Stand next to it and imagine how this beautiful animal has crossed the oceans. Very impressive!
