Corner display with a verdant mural of dinosaurs and other creatures in a swamp, over four cases with small fossils.

At long last, Beth Zaiken’s spectacular He’ll Creek mural is permanently installed in the Sue gallery!

I was hoping they might be

The Prehistoric Journey Art Collab Re-Prepared!

Calling all Paleoartists! I am assembling a team to reignite a paleoart collab I started years ago. Allow me to reintroduce the Prehistoric Journey Art Collab!
A collaborative mural featuring over 100 unique prehistoric animals to choose from.
More details below! (1/4)

It's been a while since my current stuff but way back in high school, I made a puppet of G2-9T from Star Tours.

Listen to/Living with The Land gets a free pass for having an actual greenhouse (same with the Living Seas pavilion’s aquarium) and so the science was literally alive. Universe of Energy got a facelift in the 90s but the science discussed within was pretty similar in both

I would lose my ever loving mind if somebody made a hybrid paleontology/health science exhibit that emphasized physiology and histology of fossils. (And if it already exists please, someone send me a video)

It’s also worth mentioning that the original design philosophy of classic Epcot was to “inform, entertain, and inspire” all at once. Not to say that there aren’t exhibits that do all of those things though, plenty do

Very few of the Epcot exhibits really emphasized up to date science, which is why they’re better off being considered separate from a museum type exhibit. Some of them, like Frontiers of Medicine in Wonders of Life were updated regularly but then closed when the pavilion lost its sponsor

It feels like what would happen if somebody tried to modify an Epcot Pavilion by removing the rides and adding some fossils and extra interactive displays. (which would still be a cool experience tbh)

While I must admit that while LOT is severely lacking in comparison to other exhibits from its time like Prehistoric Journey or Deep Time, it looks so aesthetically pleasing. It feels like an explosion of Utopian Scholastic aesthetics (which also didn't survive past 2004)

A carnival-like exhibit entrance with a dinosaur skull, coelacanth model, and pantodont skeleton in cases under freak show-style banners labeling them as "Mesozoic terror" and "the fish that wouldn't die'

I was asked yesterday to post a walkthrough of Life Over Time, the shortest-lived and generally weirdest iteration of the Field Museum’s fossil halls. If you visited between 1994 and 2004, this is the version you saw. I’ve got some time, so let’s do this.

You should bring back the walk through thread you had back on twt. It was cool seeing those photos.

Delighted to have found an actual floorplan of Life Over Time this morning!

Burger King Walking with Dinosaurs promo with 5 buildable fossil skeleton figures

Burger King was knocking it out of the PARK from 1999 to 2001

Sure thing! I'll message you and send you the info.

So if you're interested, either leave a comment on this post saying you are, or send me a direct message. Then, I will send you a copy of the information sheet with rules and available slots so we can get you signed up!

Best of all, there is a wide variety of prehistoric fauna to choose from. Don't care for drawing dinosaurs? No problem! This collab, much like the exhibit it's based on aims to show a sampling of a little bit of everything during life on earth. (3/4)

The idea of this collab is to artistically re-imagine fossil mounts and displays seen in the fossil collections of one of my all time favorite museums. The more styles, the better (2/4)

I had one extra tooth than normal, making me a different different species

I've noticed that in almost every photo set of the Sue travelling exhibit, there's at least one shot from Denver. I guess it must have been really popular there!
