<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The Natural History Museum of Denmark is planning a new exhibit with whale skeletons.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The plan is to mount them in a new hall build for the purpose, but there are a number of issues with climate and light. Another new issue is fire-risks associated with the skeletons. The fire authority of Copenhagen
who will inspect and approve the building ask whether whale skeletons can burn and whether they should be considered a fire risk at the same level as other installations in the room – like cabinets and furniture. I am sure that skeletons can burn and remaining
oil in the skeleton will probably add to the burning factor, but does anybody know any webpage or literature where I can find more information about this?
