These are some of the attractions visitors can anticipate when the “T-Rex: King of the Dinosaurs” exhibit arrives at the Neville Public Museum.
The Neville will run the Tyrannosaurus rex exhibit from Oct.1 to Jan. 2, in part to commemorate the museum’s 90th anniversary. To pay for the exhibit, the museum will be using a $42,500 donation from the exhibit’s corporate sponsor, American Medical Security, a PacifiCare health systems company.
“We’ve had a lot of inquiries and a lot of public demand for this kind of exhibit,” said John Jacobs, curator of science for the museum. “The popularity of the dinosaur does go up and down, but it’s always popular.”
The exhibit will have 20 stations, many of them interactive, he said.
Some of the highlights will include a life-size sculpture of a T-Rex head, a cast of its skull, a scaled-down replica of itsskeleton and a cast of its leg. A cast of what a T-Rex nest of eggs might have looked like and tools used in the excavation of dinosaurs also will be on display.
In addition, visitors may make their own footprint and compare it to the size of a dinosaur’s and dig in a pit to find “fossils.”
