If you’ve visited the Museum, you’re certainly familiar with today’s Exhibit of the Day: the Barosaurus and Allosaurus in the Rotunda! Rising 50 ft (15 m) above the ground, it’s the world’s tallest freestanding dinosaur mount. In this scene, a Barosaurus rears up to defend her young from an Allosaurus. How does the huge skeleton of Barosaurus—whose name means “heavy reptile”—stay up? Faux bones! The Barosaurus is built from casts of the real bones, which are housed in the Museum’s collections.
