A S T Start your journey on the East Coast in the newly renovated dinosaur halls of the American Museum of Natural History In New York City. The origins of this museum are closely tied to those fossils first uncovered in New Jersey. A great Mesozoic museum was planned in New York s Central Park to display full-size models of the fossils that were discovered. British sculptor Benjamin Hawkins was commissioned to build the models but was never able to complete the project. At that time, the infamous William Boss Tweed tried to get financial kickbacks out of all new ventures in the city.
