Stan’s New Home

It's better than remaining hidden in a private collection.

At least it is in a museum.

I think it's a shame Stan ended up... there. I was hoping it would end up in an established museum (such as London's Natural History Museum). I suppose there are worse places it could go, though.

Come on, we gotta give another area of the world a chance of becoming established, this can be very beneficial for areas not as exposed to dinosaurs.
But you do have a point.

Glad to see it going to another museum, and out of that private collection. Not a place where I would have expected it to go, but I'm sure people living there will be happy to be able to see it.

I got to see a cast of Stan at the Smithsonian back in 2013. I don't need to see the original bones.

Truly world-class and spectacular -not just Stan, not just the museum, but the entire setting!

If anyone wants to know my personal political opinion on this or share theirs, they can discuss with me via PM., since I don't intend to break a forum rule.

There are casts of Stan all over the place.  And they're really high-quality casts, and very nicely posed and mounted for the most part.

I'm glad the original is in a museum collection at least, but even if something were to happen to the fossil (heaven forbid), it would still remain a particularly well documented and accessible specimen.
