Yes I know exactly which diorama you are referring to. It's on the 1st level behind the whale I think. You're right it was dark and creepy, the long tentacles and everything. But the blue whale replica is what freaked me out the most, all I kept thinking was "I hope they have that thing fastened up there securely!"

@sdegroot1 --Your reply cracked me up! Too funny, but sadly, I must agree.

Anyway, you know that diorama they have in that marine life room (yep, the one w/ the whale on the ceiling we were just talking about), well my sister and I have also been terrified of the one depicting a giant squid wrapping itself around the head and mouth of the sperm whale. It's so dark and sinister, so very scary to me (and sis). but I ALWAYS look at it each time I'm there. Morbid fascination, I guess!
