Dinosaur Hunting

In 2003, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History held a public art fundraiser called DinoMite Days inspired by Pittsburgh’s and the Museum’s contributions to the study of dinosaurs. One hundred dinosaurs were decorated by artists and displayed around the city before being auctioned off. The auction dispersed the dinosaurs. Some are still visible in public areas of the city and region.

I started photographing the dinosaurs in 2011. This map shows the location of each of the dinosaurs I’ve found at that time I photographed them. Some have since been relocated.

Thanks to “Dinosaurs of Distinction: Dinomite Days Pittsburgh” by The Carnegie Museum of Natural History for the names of the dinosaurs, artists, and “sponsaurs.”
