What a thrill it is to see a full skeletal mount of a dinosaur that used to be such a mystery back in the day. Hopefully this will prompt more museums to start displaying the big guy.

I'm actually surprised there hasn't been a new one done yet. I'd say it's about time it gets one now that the mystery has been resolved for several years already. Looks good too.

well the mystery was solved, but who saw that coming? Such a convoluted outcome.  It used to make such an intriguing museum exhibit, it almost seems a shame to spoil that!

I'd love to see that skeleton in person, it looks absolutely tremendous.  I appreciate that they're displaying it in close proximity to a Tarbosaurus.  Reconstructions of Deinocheirus never look right to me, but I've tried drawing it myself, and it's just a weirdo.  In the case of this skeleton mount, I suspect it might be a little off-balance, but it's hard to say from the camera angles.
