How to Build a Dinosaur

Description

Reconstructing a dinosaur skeleton for a museum is a balance of art and science - enough science to keep the experts happy, enough artistic license to excite the visitors. But as it turns out, diplomacy is part of the balance as well. In this program, bioarchaeologist Alice Roberts goes to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County to follow the creation of its 2011 dinosaur exhibit, from the raw bones to the final colossal models.
