The blue whale is in the mammals exhibit. If you didn't visit that 
particular gallery, you wouldn't have seen it. (Also, I'm not sure 
precisely how long it's been there, or when you visited.)

The London museum has a few actual skeletons. Usually it's almost 
impossible to tell what the hell you're seeing. The bone casts that have 
been assembled into a life-like pose are much more interesting, 
visually. (Obviously to a scientist the real thing is far more important.)
