Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Science (Brussels) It’s easy to imagine the enormous tooth-filled snout crashing through the sunroof of a “Jurassic Park” jeep.ģ. She’s a terrific specimen – the original skull, weighing 600 pounds and flashing 58 teeth, is on display in the museum’s balcony level along with information on the most notorious of dinosaurs. Meet Sue, the largest Tyrannosaurus in the world, who greets visitors at Chicago’s natural history museum. The main attraction stands at the entrance.
The museum’s Evolving Planet exhibit, dedicated to the last 4 billion years of evolution, features dinosaurs from as far away as Madagascar and Antarctica. The world's biggest version of the world's most famous dinosaur. The museum also has the most important Archaeopteryx fossil in the world, demonstrating the birdlike link between dinosaurs and birds.
It’s a Guinness World Record holder and dominates the first gallery.
Most impressive is the 41-foot, 5-inch Brachiosaurus, the tallest dinosaur in the world on display.
(As if anyone who’s seen any of the films would want to visit one anyway.)įortunately there are already plenty of museums worldwide that (safely) bring humans face to face with dinosaurs – and not always just their skeletons.īerlin’s natural history museum houses a serious collection of bones excavated largely from Tanzania in the 20th century, featuring all sorts of species. While real-life scientists have yet to resurrect the terrible lizards from mosquito DNA, they have recently discovered remnants of what look like red blood cells and soft tissue in the fossils of a 75-million-year-old dinosaur.īut they say it’ll be a long time before a “Jurassic Park”-style theme park is feasible. The movie has already smashed records, becoming the highest grossing global opening in history by bringing in $511.8 million over the weekend. “Jurassic World” hit over 4,200 theaters last week, reintroducing the man-meets-dinosaur disaster to a new generation of fans.
