Excellent virtual tour of an (obviously currently closed) temporary exhibition called "Dawn of the Wonderchicken".  It gives a great deal of information and good images about the "oldest modern bird", Asteriornis maastrichtensis.  Some stunning photos of modern birds too.

Thanks for posting! I'm glad that some museums are making things like this available.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

I thought they did the "tour" really well. Perhaps it was easier to construct because it was clearly a very compact and focussed exhibition.

Yes, thanks for posting this Ceratopsian. I visited the Sedgwick Museum a few years back with my girls and did a short thread for the Forum. It's a lovely place and very welcoming with good things for kids to do. It's smaller and less impressive than its rival natural history museum at Oxford (also well worth a visit) but is packed full of fossils nonetheless.

I don't think I've ever seen so many trilobites in one place!
