Jurustic Park, Open-air museum in Marathon County, Wisconsin, US
The outdoor exhibition contains metal sculptures of extinct creatures that inhabited the McMillan Marsh during the Iron Age, created by Clyde Wynia.
The McMillan Marsh underwent substantial changes in the mid-19th century when farming and industrial activities modified the natural ecosystem of the region.
The sculptures document the intersection of paleontology and metalwork through replicas of creatures made from ferrous metals and various steel alloys.
The park welcomes visitors throughout the year to explore the metal sculptures and learn about the environmental changes in the McMillan Marsh.
According to the records, the metallic creatures of the marsh perished due to acid rain effects, as they lacked access to rust protection methods.
