8. Paris Museum of Natural History, Paris

 

7. Dinosaur National Monument, Utah

 

6. Museum of Natural HIstory, London

Please note the Spinosaurus skeleton in Japan is a reconstruction, not real ;)

You can even tell the thing is a reconstruction. Figures the Japanese have a replica. How big is it anyway?

 

Nice list, though I myself would have the Tyrrell higher up. Maybe it's because I'm Canadian, maybe it's because Albertosaurus is one of my top 3 favourites and they have a big ass Albertosaurus exhibit. Who am I kidding? It's both.

The Jap skeleton is 55 ft(not too bad in my opinion).

 

Personally, I would have put the Carnegie up higher, but I had to be as neutral as possible.

This is a good list! I'd put this travelling exhibit I saw once as an honorable mention.

55 feet is a reasonable maximum for the animal, if you ask me of course.

I agree(I say 46-56 ft, so it's right there for me). I'll be seeing the Chicago Filed Museum and Dinosaur National Monument next year when my dad and I take a road trip out west. Can't wait.

REX FAN 684 - Wow! Those are some extremely fascinating locations you've presented! I would absolutely love to see the Smithsonian and the Chicago Field Museum - I've heard they're magnificent. Thank you so very much for bringing this to us! I'll definately try to have a go at them! :)

MR.HAPPY9097 - Ugh! You're right! That Spinosaurus is quite obviously a reconstruction. I like my dinosaurs to look like they're made of bone - not particle board! ;) Regardless, it is a rather neat reconstruction. :)
