I was wondering what museum people would go to if they could. I would choose the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. I would go there because it is one of the largest dinosaur museums in the world, it is in the badlands of Alberta, and Drumheller has been called the Dinosaur Capital of The World.http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EVpXroBNczM/S_NWquSBFzI/AAAAAAAAAIk/ezTDIgNlwKo/s1600/Black+Beauty+TMP.jpg It is also where the T-Rex named "Black Beauty" is. It was named so because the bones were stained black during the fossilization process. Does anyone know the name of the museum where they have a Spinosaurus fossil?

I have been to: The Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh Pa, The Museum of Natural History in NYC, The Museum of Natural History in Baltimore, and The Smithsonian in DC. The Royal Tyrrell would be cool to visit. The museum in Denver Colorado would be pretty nice to visit as well.

Anytime. The Carnegie Museum has a really cool exhibit called Dinosaurs In Their Time. Really awesome.

I go to the Denver museum almost daily. They have kimmerasaurs on the ceiling all over the place, and they also have one of the only Dimetrodon displays in the world. I also love the Megarachne fossil. I want to go to the one in Canada that Mr. Happy mentioned

Did I mention that the Denver Museum has one of the most complete Stegosaurs on display?

The Royal Tyrrell Museum has Black Beauty, a T-Rex skeleton that was stained black during fossilization. Rex Fan put a picture up, such a nice skeleton. Even S-Rex has to think that is cool.

It's definitely one of a kind. Here's some pics from the Carnegie. Been there more times than any other museum...

I highly recommend the museum.

If you guys need me to identify some of the dinosaurs, let me know. I'll tell you which ones are which. Here's a few more...

They also have numerous Ice-Age animal skeletons, a few sea reptiles, and many other awesome exhibits. Love the museum and I can not stress how much I recommend it. They have 2 Tyrannosaurus skeletons for all you Rex fans. 3 if you count the cast of Jane they have in the lobby. I think it's a Nanotyrannus, but they have it classified as a young T-rex. Hope you guys can visit it sometime and hope you like the pics.
