THERIZINOSAUR – Mystery of the Sickle-Claw Dinosaur
An exhibit of the newest and strangest
dinosaur in all of North America. THERIZINOSAUR – Mystery of the
Sickle-Claw Dinosaur has been developed from a southern Utah excavation by
MNA’s Colbert Curator of Paleontology Dr. David D. Gillette. Exhibit
visitors will experience scientific inquiry at its best, as the exhibit
asks questions, but leaves the answers about this enigmatic, one-ton
creature to the visitors’ critical thinking.
Through November 1, 2009
Natural
Languages: The Art of Judy Tuwaletstiwa
Judy Tuwaletstiwa uses photographs, mixed
media paintings, sculpture, and text to create a poetic visual language
and paint a new picture of the grandure and intimacy of the Colorado
Plateau.
