Moveable Museum Fleet Expands 



( > 



Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New 

 Discoveries is the latest addi- 

 tion to the Museum's fleet of 

 Moveable Museums — converted recre- 

 ational vehicles outfitted as state-of- 

 the-art, walk-in exhibition spaces. This 

 newest Moveable complements the 

 Museum's recent special exhibition of 

 the same name, focusing on the latest 

 findings in paleontology, and is made 

 possible through the generous corpo- 

 rate support of Bloomberg. 



Inside, the vehicle will be divided into 

 three primary zones. "Age of Dino- 

 saurs" will let visitors examine fossil 

 evidence to understand what may have 

 caused the mass extinction about 65 

 million years ago. "Mesozoic Mysteries" 



will consider questions about dinosaur 

 diet, movement, and behavior. The final 

 zone, "Bird-Dino Connection," will 

 feature a diorama re-creating a 130- 

 million-year-old prehistoric forest in 

 what is now Liaoning Province, China. 



Interactive activities, interpretive mod- 

 els, captivating video presentations, and 

 numerous fossil specimens that visitors 

 can touch ensure that the Museum's 

 newest Moveable Museum will offer ex- 

 citing learning opportunities for all ages. 



All four Moveable Museums — Dino- 

 saurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries, 

 The Paleontology of Dinosaurs, Structures 

 e[ Culture, and Discovering the Uni- 

 verse — are free of charge and available 



year-round for school programs, sum- 

 mer programs, and community events 

 throughout New York City. All school
