What happens behind the exhibits at one of America’s greatest natural history museums? 🦖In this special episode of the Prehistoric Life Podcast, I visit the Natural History Museum of Utah for an incredible behind-the-scenes experience that takes us beyond the public galleries and into the museum’s fossil preparation lab!I had the amazing opportunity to meet Alex Straley and get an up-close look at the work that goes into preparing, studying, and preserving fossils before they ever make it onto display.We’ll explore what goes on behind the scenes at the museum, see incredible fossils up close, and get a glimpse into the science and preparation work that helps bring Utah’s prehistoric past to life.And of course, we’ll also explore some of the incredible exhibits that make this museum one of the most amazing paleontology destinations I’ve ever visited—including the incredible ceratopsian skull wall and the spectacular Barosaurus vs. Allosaurus display!This is a special version of my Natural History Museum of Utah episode, giving you a look at the museum that most visitors never get to see.🦴 In this episode:A special behind-the-scenes look at the fossil prep labMeeting Alex StraleySeeing fossils and specimens up closeExploring how fossils are prepared for research and displayThe incredible ceratopsian skull wallThe massive Barosaurus vs. Allosaurus displayMy experience visiting one of the world’s premier natural history museumsIf you love dinosaurs, fossils, museums, and paleontology, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!🎙️ Prehistoric Life Podcast🦖 Exploring the past.
