Museum of the Rockies, Paleontology and natural history museum in Bozeman, United States.
The Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman holds a large collection of dinosaur fossils from North America, with many Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons on display. The building also contains exhibits about natural history, a planetarium, and a working farm museum.
The museum was founded in 1957 as part of Montana State University, beginning as a small collection that gradually expanded. Over time it became one of the major centers for dinosaur research and paleontological study.
The Enduring Peoples section displays how Northern Plains Native American communities lived and organized themselves through objects that people actually used. Walking through, you see tools, clothing, and items that tell stories of daily life and cultural practices.
The museum is open daily and lets visitors explore several areas and exhibitions in one location. Plan to spend several hours to see the dinosaur fossils, natural history displays, and planetarium shows.
The museum holds one of the largest Tyrannosaurus skulls ever discovered and displays rare soft tissue preserved inside a T-rex thigh bone. These fossils give scientists clues about details that usually disappear over millions of years.
