MemberCompsognathusApr-27-2014 11:36 AMHey everyone, I am sorry if this was posted before hand. However, I found this article on NPR.org reporting that the Smithsonian Musuem's Dinosaur Exhibit Hall is closing for five years so that renovations can be done. I have never been to the musuem, but it is still kind of sad to hear this. However, the renovations sound like that they will include some really cool stuff. Here is the link.

MemberCompsognathusApr-27-2014 11:51 AMThat is my mistake. It is actually just the dinosaur exhibits that are getting revamped. I will retitle the thread, and edit my original post.

Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe in. -Brom-

MemberCompsognathusApr-27-2014 6:02 PMOne reason for the renos is to make preperations for the arrival of Wankel Rex(a nearly complete T.rex skeleton).
