Description
Summary:From bones to museum exhibit - Reconstructing a dinosaur skeleton for a museum is a balance between art and science - enough science to keep the experts happy, enough artistic licence to excite the visitors. But in How to Build a Dinosaur we see that getting that balance right is a tricky diplomatic, as well as scientific, process. In How to Build a Dinosaur, presenter and anatomist Dr Alice Roberts follows the entire reconstruction of Los Angeles Natural History Museum's Summer 2011 dinosaur exhibit from the raw bones to the final colossal models. How to Build a Dinosaur is a fascinating BBC science documentary which shows the re-creation of these magnificent creatures.
