I would be shocked if I had no idea!! Anyone ever been there and saw it for yourself? Or know anyone who has? I wonder what inspired someone to erect a fake, dead whale on a beach? Shock value? "On July 10th, 2008, a 18 metres long life size sculpture of a sperm whale made from wood, aluminium and polyester lies on the beach of Scheveningenis. This gigantic state of the art was made by artist Zephyr (alias of Dirk Claesen) and is meant to promote the collection of the museum Muzee Scheveningen." -------------------- ~Susie 'Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future.

I'd probably run up to it and inspect it to find out if it was real~! -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara
