In this episode, Odd Salon Fellow Amy Widdowson looks at the lasting legacy of the Smithsonian dinosaur collection, and the rival Victorian paleontologists who spared no efforts in undoing the other.
What happens when you combine the mid-1800s rush to excavate fossils during the Bone Wars, the inherently human desire to discover, name, categorize and display anything and everything, the Edwardian age of optimism, the attempt to assemble skeletons of nightmare lizard creatures that hadn’t walked the earth in millions of years, and the creation of a national Museum of Natural History? Well, you get the Hall of Extinct Monsters at the Smithsonian Institution, of course!
