Having just finished the book "The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs", I drove to NYC to visit the temporary exhibition on T. Rex.  It is open until August 2020 and is highly recommended. 





One of the main focus points of the exhibition was the growth of T. Rex:

Another part of the exhibit was a mural with members of the Tyrannosaur family.

Great photos. Sure hope this exhibit eventually goes on the road; would love to see it come to the CMN.

I just realized that the scientist behind PNSO, ZHAO Chuang, is also responsible for a large part of this exhibit, including the models showing the growth of T. rex and the mural:

After working with the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in 2016 for its special exhibition Dinosaurs Among Us, Mr. ZHAO Chuang, PNSO's scientific artist accepted AMNH's invitation and collaborated as its partner artist once again. Based on the latest scientific research, he created 25 science artworks on dinosaurs. The species he depicted include adult and young Tyrannosaurus rex, as well as Dilong, Guanlong, Zhuchengtyrannus, Yutyrannus, and Xiongguanlong etc.

A truly small world.

His style is quite unmistakable.  I am not sure it is so much a case of "small world" as that he is very well known in his field and highly sought after!
