Abstract

<p>A hands-on exhibit specimen was made using a whole skeleton of Stejeneger’s beaked whale, 4.9m in body length. The purposes of the study were to create a pleasure of the experience, a touch-and-feel recognition of the skeleton, appreciation of the size of the whale and understanding the texture of the whale bones. These purposes were accomplished, judged by the answers given to the questionnaire for the visitors, who joined the events of this hands-on exhibit. The results show that visitors recognized the hands-on exhibit as an excellent one for understanding the structure of the skeleton.</p>
