We recognize that each of our clients and their projects are one of a kind, with specific needs and unique opportunities. Project plans are customized to ensure that we can deliver the best services possible ranging from consultation to joint collaboration to full project management. At Cetacea, we know that creating a skeleton exhibit is an enriching experience at any level. It is our priority to ensure that our clients are satisfied with all stages of our process and that our final product is better than they may have dreamed.
specimen acquisition
Cetacea does not profit from the trade or sale of marine and terrestrial skeletons. Instead, we collaborate and help clients work with government agencies, offering experienced and professional service to facilitate the legal acquisition of skeletons for research collections or interpretive display. Please contact Cetacea directly to learn more.
necropsies, specimen cleaning and preparation
Effective specimen cleaning and preparation requires expertise and various factors determine the optimal method for cleaning a skeleton. Cetacea utilizes a range of cleaning methods from maceration techniques to enzymatic cleaning, burial and solvent-cleaning.
Design and articulation
Skeleton articulation is a process that perfectly fuses the disciplines of science, engineering and art.
At Cetacea, we specialize in designing and building custom installations to create displays that are as dynamic as each of our subjects are in nature. Each armature is designed, engineered and beautifully fabricated to blend in with its display space and to accentuate the skeletal shape. Our exhibits have become world-renowned as some of the finest on display highlighting our expertise in many areas including digital design, bone restoration and replication, fine metalwork and engineering.

Exhibit INSTALLATION
With two decades of experience planning and executing installations in buildings from glass atriums to those with heritage status we have handled the installation stage for almost all of our projects. All on-site crew are fully certified to work at heights and meet local safety requirements. We collaborate with building contractors, engineers, rigging crews or can provide full services to carry out any project installation.
Research, education and media
We can enrich any skeleton project by offering unique and rewarding educational opportunities ranging from ecological interpretation to skills workshops. We consult on feasibility and focus research and are experienced in working closely with our clients to support the efforts of media, photographers and filmmakers to share our work broadly.
