Hawkins was a British artist who' d made a name for himself building lifesize model dinosaurs for the Crystal Palace. He came up with an elaborate metal frame and reconstructed his first real prehistoric animal. It was an instant sensation. Visitor numbers to the Philadelphia Museum doubled overnight. Suddenly, no museum of natural history could be without a standing dinosaur. Today, with over 2 million people a year passing through this gallery, not much has changed. But this isn' t just an exhibition. It' s a growing scientific resource with new dinosaurs adding to our understanding all the time. Liz Bonnin joined the museum team on a dig near Johannesburg, South Africa, in search of the Holy Grail of dinosaur exploration, a missing link. |
