OK, I live here, yet I had to learn from Brian that the AMNH dinosaur exhibit is coming to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in downtown Raleigh. The exhibit will be open from October 26, 2007 till March 2, 2008 and I will make sure to go and see it while it is in town (and take pictures if they'll let me and then blog about it). If you come from out of town to see the exhibit, don't forget to also see the dinos that are on permanent display at the Museum: the Acrocanthosaurus (the only skeleton of its kind displayed anywhere - and it is not a cast either but the real thing) and Thescelosaurus 'Willo', the dinosaur with a heart.
