Discover the little-known story of Diplodocus carnegii, named after Scottish-American millionaire Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919). This exhibition explains why Andrew Carnegie decided to create copies of this huge fossil skeleton (found in Wyoming, USA in 1899) and why they were shipped to many different countries around the world, including the Natural History Museum in London. The display is curated by the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum and features items from the museum’s collection.
