The American Museum of Natural History Moved a Giant Dinosaur. Twice.

The American Museum of Natural History has relocated a giant dinosaur skeleton, known as Apex, twice within the museum. Initially, Apex was assembled and put on display in the museum, but it was later determined that the space was not suitable for the massive fossil. The museum then moved the skeleton to a more appropriate location within the museum, ensuring a better fit and enhanced visitor experience. The relocation process was a complex undertaking, as the skeleton needed to be carefully disassembled, transported, and reassembled in the new space. The museum's team of experts worked diligently to ensure the safety and preservation of the fossil throughout the process. The decision to move the dinosaur skeleton reflects the museum's commitment to providing visitors with the best possible experience and showcasing its extensive collection of natural history artifacts in the most suitable environments.
