AMNH Presents Barnum Brown: The Man who Discovered T.Rex 10/21

Barnum Brown: The Man Who Discovered Tyrannosaurus Rex. Considered by many to be the greatest fossil hunter of the 20th century, Barnum Brown traveled across the world collecting dinosaur bones and fossil mammals. Between 1896 and 1942, he collected more than 1200 crates of fossils for the American Museum of Natural History, including 57 of the major specimens on display in the Museum today.

Join Mark Norell, chair of the Museum's Division of Paleontology, and Research Associate Lowell Dingus as they share stories from their new book, Barnum Brown: The Man Who Discovered Tyrannosaurus Rex. Learn about Brown's extraordinary professional and personal life, which included discovering the first specimens of Tyrannosaurus Rex and working as a spy during both World Wars.
