These great vintage photographs from 1968 show the installation of the American Museum of Natural History's iconic 94-foot fiberglass and polyurethane blue whale. According to an article on Slate, this wasn't the first whale to hang there in that spot.

The museum made the decision to overhaul its old blue whale in the early 1960s. The former inhabitant of the Hall of Ocean Life, a papier-mâché blue whale model that was hung in the early 20th century, had begun to look outdated.

These days, the whale remains one of the most popular attractions in the museum. You can even buy tickets for a special boozy adult-sleepover at the Museum where you get to sleep directly under the whale.

As part of a larger article on income inequality in major metropolitan cities across the United States titled Wealth Divides, this interesting interactive map appears showing how that divide affects New York City boroughs. On this map, each blue dot represents an annual income of over $150,000, whereas orange dots represent those making less than that per year. As you would expect, almost all of the City's wealthiest people live in Manhattan. Check out the accompanying article to play around with this map and other data visualizations showing income inequality in the City.

Good morning! Wishing you a happy Sunday, January 28th, 2018 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

Here's what the weather looks like in the City right now.
