The sole surviving full-scale model of the 1975 Jaws shark, donated by Nathan Adlen.LOS ANGELES - Over four decades after terrorising beachgoers in"Jaws," the blockbuster movie's shark model has been installed at Los Angeles' long-awaited Oscars museum.
The fibreglass predator is the only remaining version created for the classic 1975 movie, but with Jaws measuring nearly five feet wide, was too large for the building's elevators -- and had to be levered in by crane through the window. Weighing more than 540kg, it is the largest object so far in the collection of the upcoming Academy Museum of Motion Pictures -- a project by the body organising Hollywood's Oscars first dreamt up nearly a century ago but beset with delays.
