🎉Today’s the day! The Museum is now open as an NYC COVID-19 vaccination site.

🐋This vaccination site serves all NYC residents, with set-aside appointments for groups including @NYCHA residents + staff and members of @DistCouncil37. #NYCVaccineForAll

🐋Everyone who receives a vaccination at the Museum will get complimentary general admission on a future visit for a group of four.

🐋Planning to visit the Museum? No problem: We’re still open! The lower level of the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life is temporarily unavailable—but the Blue Whale (now with a bandage!) can still be viewed from the upper level, which is open to visitors.

The finished result! I’m so ridiculously proud and pleased with how it turned out!

This was an ordinary door + 3 pieces of mdf board. I carved and sculpted them with my dremel multitool, inspired by the carvings I saw in Bali, mounted them and then painted and sanded the whole thing in several layers before adding a final tint of gold. 💙
