Where Have I Been?

Yes It has been a long time since I posted and here is why. Ever since I returned from vacation (back in August) I have been working nonstop on The dinosaur exhibit at the Garden State Discovery Museum in Cherry Hill New Jersey, "The Dinosaurium". I had a great time working with the in house exhibits team to bring this place to life. Now that it's over I might be able to find time and energy to get back to blogging. Check out the photos That range from April to September.


Here I am back in April cutting out ribs for the Tyrannosaurus Rex.This is three sheet of 3/4 inch plywood glue together to give us child safe bones. That makes for hot saws.

 
These three little boxes allow the visitors to roar into the pipes and and have there voice transformed into a dinosaur sounding voice. It's just a guess  who knows what they really sounded like.

 Here I am placing the activities inside the Paleontologist dig site tent.











Here I am crawling through the belly of the beast. Well okay I'm just cleaning up the deck








Here is the climbing structure on opening night, The adults eating and drinking will not be apart of the normal activity.


 Here are two links to a news article about the opening.
