Dinosaurs!

Many of you sent in links to various museums that have large collections related to dinosaurs. Here is the consensus on the top collections:
--The Royal Tyrell Museum (Drumheller, Alberta)
http://www.tyrrellmuseum.com/.
That site also has virtual tours available online.

--The Carnegie Museum (Pittsburgh)
Again, a huge collection.

--The Smithsonian (Washington, D.C.)

The Field Museum in Chicago gets a special mention because of "Sue," the most complete T-Rex skeleton ever discovered.

Here's a link to some fantastic pictures of Sue.
