Board accepts donated dinosaur replicas to expand paleontology displays
Summary
The board accepted three small dinosaur replicas donated by Carol Jones for museum display rotation; staff noted the replicas include information materials and one needs cleaning before exhibit placement.
Museum staff (S1) showed three small dinosaur replicas donated by Carol Jones and recommended keeping them in the collection for rotating display. "They're actually quite small, and they're really nifty," staff said while describing condition and that one replica "needs to be cleaned up" before display.
Committee member (S3) moved to accept the donation, and Committee member (S6) seconded; the board voted by voice to accept the replicas for exhibit use. Staff noted the replicas include a book of information and that the Allosaurus currently on display will be supplemented by the new pieces; placement and cleaning will be handled by collections staff.
