The Exhibit

Noteworthy Attributions

“Dinosaurs in Their Time” Exhibit allows for visitors to
see the dinosaurs in life-like exhibits and includes visitors
walking under a fallen tree stump.

The Carnegie Museums of Natural Science Museum is
one of the top five museums in the United States and is
the first permanent exhibit in the world with its dinosaurs
in environmental displayed based on scientific discovery
of the Mesozoic Era.

The museum uses touch-screen computers for guest to
gather information on particular exhibits. One of the
interesting capabilities of interactive touch-screen
computers is to see if the dinosaurs are real, sculpted or
a cast.

The Natural Science Museum is also noted for some of
its famous dinosaurs including one of the world’s only
fossils of a juvenile Apatosaurus, the most complete set
of Tyrannosaurs-Rex fossils, and a yet-to-be named
species of oviraptorosaur.

Many of the exhibits at the museum are mostly real with
a couple pieces sculpted or casted.

Outside of the fossils, the museum has published roughly 20 papers in the science journal “Natural and Science”
since 2000.
