Mounted Skeletons at The Field Museum: Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong #23
Channel: Chaotic Good

http://thensi.org/ - We happened to go to the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, and of course Steven had things to say about some of the displays. The museum was kind enough to let us film comments about their Brachiosaurus, "Apatosaurus," Patagotitan, some exciting Antarctic dinosaurs, and of course Tyrannosaurus. Mounted skeletons have advantages over illustrations or models, but they're no more immune to ongoing science.
