New Dinosaur Hall opens at LA museum
Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County has unveiled its new 14,000sq ft (1,301sq m) Dinosaur Hall, which features the T. rex growth series at the heart of the experience.
Included in the T. rex growth series is a fossil trio of the youngest known baby; a juvenile; and a young adult named Thomas, one of the most complete specimens in the world. Other attractions in the Dinosaur Hall include a Triceratops; a Stegosaurus; an Allosaurus; a 68ft (21m) long-necked Mamenchisaurus; and examples of large marine reptiles.
Interactive touch screens will enable visitors to take part in simulated palaeontology and learn about dinosaur senses and sounds based on a CT scan of a dinosaur brain. The opening marks the mid-point of the museum's 'institutional transformation', which is to include the launch of an exhibition looking at South California's natural history in 2012.
