RICHMOND, Va. β The Children's Museum of Richmond celebrated the unveiling of Stan the T-Rex, a massive 40-foot-long and 14-foot-tall skeleton replica that drew cheers from visitors at CMOR on Tuesday morning.
The replica is modeled after one of the most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex skeletons ever discovered. Stan has found his way to Richmond from South Dakota and now has a permanent home at the Children's Museum through a partnership with education and curriculum company Great Minds.
"We are thrilled now that Stan is taking the next step in his journey, will have the opportunity to inspire children directly starting today at this important Richmond institution."
Following the unveiling ceremony, the education team at CMOR organized interactive activities for visitors to participate in alongside the new prehistoric addition.
