Still love the sea, nearly 89 years old now and if I’m reincarnated I hope to come back as a porpoise and play with the unicorns which I’ve heard have found a place in the sea. I wonder if your big guy is still on display, and if someone will see and answer this. It’s been a long time………. and whether this is answered or not I’m happy I stumbled across your website. Lots of memories there, including conversation with Jane Keig and Emma. Fondly, Ruth Gaeta

actually we intend for her to be in display for a wee while so I reckon you should start saving and COME OVER! Go on – you’ll have so much fun!

Just happened to see a bit in the Atlanta paper to know it’s nearing the time of your exhibition opening, after so much time waiting. What an amazing feat, wish we could see your big guy in person but we’ll enjoy it via your website. Thank you for sharing!

Yes – a huge amount of thought and care has gone into this project. We want to preserve her as much as possible, learn from and about her as much as possible but also share her with everyone else as much as possible!

So if you might not be able to come over and see her in person you can check out the website:
http://www.tepapa.govt.nz/squid
At the moment it’s counting down to the exhibition opening but will switch over to a site with a lot more information, images and designing your own squid on it.
