The Whale Project

Tahku: The Whale Sculpture is a life-scale bronze whale sculpture located on the waterfront of Juneau, Alaska, a popular tourist destination. The sculpture commemorates the 50th anniversary of Alaska statehood and serves as the northern anchor for the downtown Juneau waterfront. Sculpted by former Juneau resident R.T. Wallen, the company also offers limited edition maquettes (working models) of the whale sculpture for purchase.
