Overviews of three large murals on display in the Paleozoological Museum of China. These huge historical artworks were painted in 1994. They were recently described by myself and others in the journal Geoconservation Research. For more information see:

There are lots of figures of the artworks in the paper but the murals are long and narrow so it’s difficult to appreciate them as a whole. That’s why I created this video to help show them off.

There is something comforting about vintage paleoart. I used to have (still have?) trading cards that feature some of the art seen in this exposition. I’ll read the paper later tonight. I recently sold my Carnegie mountain to one of the paleontology students working on some kind of exposition featuring dinosaur figures over at this museum. He’s one of Xu Xing’s students. Needless to say, they made my X-mas possible!
