The Sternberg Museum of Natural History - Hays, KS - History Museums on Waymarking.com

Housed in a dome with the top of the dome, a dinosaur diorama where you stroll through lush vegetation among life-sized animated dinosaurs while the air is rent with strange sounds from long ago. This is museum with its collection presented in such a way that you find yourself immersed in the past, and when you are exiting you say to yourself, "That was a great museum."

The best way to explain just how marvelous this museum is the quote and excerpt from the museum website: "Begin your exhibit experience in a replicated fossil dig site. Here, George Sternberg excavates one of his most famous fossil finds—the world famous Fish-within-a-Fish. In 1952, Sternberg discovered this 14-foot Xiphactinus (Zie-FACT-i-nus) with its final meal, a 6-foot Gillicus, preserved within its ribcage. Next to the actual specimen, home movies of the original excavation help tell the story of this amazing fossil.' Source
