Dinosaur casting captivates museum visitors in 1957 project
The Carnegie Museum and others plan a 76 foot Diplodocus cast using gelatin molds and prefabricated skeleton sections, with a June 1 1957 deadline. English and American exhibit origins are traced, from early dinosaur models gifted to New York to Utah and Los Angeles museums preparing indoor displays. A Tokyo request prompts a duplicate set for Japan, while Lake Charles College awaits the US return. Attendance remains strong at about 55 000 to 60 000 yearly.
