They Have the World's One and Only Taxidermied Blue Whale

That is correct; the only land-based blue whale in existence is the taxidermied blue whale in Gothenburg, Sweden. Not only is seeing this whale a special occasion since you will never see anything like it anywhere else in the world, but it also comes with a fun story. Once upon a time, the whale's mouth hung open to show off its impressive jaws, and museum visitors could walk inside. But when a couple was caught making love inside the whale, the museum closed its mouth permanently except for special events.

It is rumored that the couple is still inside the whale... just joking. The couple was removed from the whale, and then it was decided to close its jaw.
