There is an exhibit of "The World's Largest Dinosaurs" at the American Museum of Natural History. It's been running from April 2011 and will end on January 2, 2012.
Hopefully the museum will survive Hurricane Katrina which is expected to hit this weekend!
Address
Central Park West at 79th Street
NY, NY 10024-5192
From the website:
The huge dinosaurs called sauropods astound us. So massive! So tall! Such long necks and tiny heads! But more astounding is this: these strange giants rank among Earth’s great success stories, roaming the planet for 140 million years.
Today, scientists from many fields have joined in an effort to figure out how they did it. Paleontologists, biologists, botanists, animal nutritionists and engineers all agree: the world’s largest dinosaurs were extraordinary creatures. The challenge is to discover what made them tick.
The exciting exhibition features cutting-edge research on super-sized sauropods—including the giant Mamenchisaurus, one of the largest animals to ever walk the Earth—and offers new insights into how their colossal bodies functioned. Visitors will have a chance to examine life-sized bones, muscles, internal organs, and more to discover the amazing anatomy of The World's Largest Dinosaurs.
