• The American Museum of Natural History in New York City will become a vaccination site on April 23.
• The museum added a bandage to its famous blue whale model for the occasion.
• Fans of the museum were delighted by the display.

The American Museum of Natural History in New York City is one of many famous landmarks being transformed into a COVID-19 vaccination site.

To mark the opening of the museum's vaccination site on April 23, the exhibition department added a bandage to the iconic blue whale model hanging in the Hall of Ocean Life, indicating that the whale had also joined the effort to "stop the spread."

The 94-foot whale model, constructed in the mid-1960s, is made of 21,000 pounds of foam and fiberglass. In a tweet on Tuesday, AMNH said that the whale's bandage measures 6 feet long and 2 feet wide.

Fans of the museum were delighted by the display.

Vaccinations at AMNH will be open to all New York City residents. Everyone who gets vaccinated there will also receive a general admission voucher for up to four people.

When asked how the whale is feeling after receiving the vaccine, an AMNH representative told Insider, "She's feeling well - thanks for asking!"
