The 66-million-year-old bones of a Tyrannosaurus rex arrived today at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, where preparations are now underway to create a dinosaur and fossil hall.

The Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum dinosaur hall will close for five years for renovations to accommodate a newly acquired T. rex skeleton.

The arrival of the Wankel T. rex to the National Museum of Natural History may be delayed because Congress hates cool dinosaur bones, I guess.
