The skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex auctioned off in Zurich in spring has found a new home. "Trinity" will be on display at the Dinosaur Museum in Aathal ZH for a year from the end of January 2024.
The Aathal Dinosaur Museum announced on Thursday that it was delighted to be the first museum to make the skeleton accessible to the general public. The skeleton, called "Trinity", was purchased at auction in April for around 4.8 million francs by the Belgian Phoebus Foundation.
The 11.6 meter long and 3.9 meter high skeleton comes from three Tyrannosaurus finds in the US states of Wyoming and Montana. Around 50 percent of the bones from "Trinity" are real.
