The Carnegie Museum of Natural History

The Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, PA was a real treat to go finally see. I finally got to visit there in June, 2004. I've wanted to see their Dinosaur Hall ever since I was a child. The main thing I wanted to see in their collection was their T. rex on display. It was the very first Tyrannosaurus rex - found by Barnum Brown and documented by Henry Fairfield Osborne. They started dismantling and redoing the exhibits soon after our visit. They're now updated, more accurate, and the display area is three times larger. But it was still great seeing the exhibits as I remembered them from all those dinosaur books of my youth. This just gives me the excuse to get back out there to compare them to how they look today. Just click on the picture for the full size photograph.
