The 122-foot-long touchable cast takes up a third of the Museum&#8217;s main <span class=\"xn-person\">Stanley Field Hall<\/span>, with its head peeking over the 28-foot balcony to the second floor. The titanosaur, a recently discovered dino from <span class=\"xn-location\">Argentina<\/span>, is nicknamed M\u00e1ximo\u2014Spanish for &#8220;maximum&#8221; or &#8220;most&#8221; and a nod to the dinosaur&#8217;s enormous size and Argentinian homeland. \u00a0And M\u00e1ximo won&#8217;t be alone\u2014as part of the museum&#8217;s massive renovation to its iconic <span class=\"xn-person\">Stanley Field Hall<\/span>, he&#8217;ll be joined this week by a flock of life-size replicas of giant flying reptiles, as well as state-of-the-art hanging gardens. These additions will transform the hall in celebration of the museum&#8217;s 125<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary this year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference\" id=\"DivAssetPlaceHolder1\">\n<p title=\"How do you assemble the world's largest dinosaur? This is what four days of work looks like in under a minute. \u00a9 Field Museum\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ht3EQrpOpko\" frameborder=\"0\">\u00a0<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Our goal as an institution is to offer visitors the best possible dinosaur experiences, and we want that to start right when visitors first enter <span class=\"xn-person\">Stanley Field Hall<\/span>,&#8221; says Field Museum president <span class=\"xn-person\">Richard Lariviere<\/span>. &#8220;The new titanosaur is huge and it looks amazing in Stanley Field Hall. It is the perfect home to display the world&#8217;s largest dinosaur.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The new dinosaur is a cast made from the fossil bones of <i>Patagotitan mayorum <\/i>(pat-uh-go-tie-tan my-or-um), a giant, long-necked herbivore from <span class=\"xn-location\">Argentina<\/span> that&#8217;s part of a group of dinosaurs called titanosaurs. The cast is the only <i>Patagotitan<\/i> in the world that visitors are able to touch and walk under, and only the second to ever be on display. Along with the cast of the titanosaur skeleton, there are some of its real bones on display, including an 8-foot-long thighbone. M\u00e1ximo&#8217;s pink hue matches the color of the real fossils, turned reddish by the red clay soil where they were found.<\/p>\n<p>The flock of pterosaurs (which are flying reptiles, not dinosaurs) joining M\u00e1ximo will give visitors a lifelike look at the animals that shared the planet with the dinosaurs. The pterosaurs will also serve as a wayfinding tool from <span class=\"xn-person\">Stanley Field Hall<\/span> up to the rest of the dinos and SUE&#8217;s new home in the permanent exhibition <i>The Griffin Halls of<\/i> <i>Evolving Planet<\/i>. The largest pterosaur will have a 32-foot wingspan, the length of a school bus.<\/p>\n<p>M\u00e1ximo, the flying reptiles, gardens, and renovations to SUE the <i>T. rex<\/i> (who is undergoing scientific updates before their reveal in their new gallery by the museum&#8217;s other dinos in early 2019) are all made possible by Citadel CEO <span class=\"xn-person\">Kenneth C. Griffin&#8217;s<\/span> generous gift of <span class=\"xn-money\">$16.5 million<\/span>, and are just the beginning of groundbreaking changes at the museum this year. &#8220;Visiting the Field Museum has brought tremendous joy and wonder to my children and me over the years,&#8221; says Griffin. &#8220;I am proud to support such an outstanding institution so that children and families can better understand and appreciate dinosaurs and their history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit us at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fieldmuseum.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">fieldmuseum.org<\/a>, or follow us on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fieldmuseum\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Facebook<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FieldMuseum\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fieldmuseum\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Video &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ht3EQrpOpko\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ht3EQrpOpko<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Photo &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/698353\/Field_Museum_Maximo.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/698353\/Field_Museum_Maximo.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Logo &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/698354\/Field_Museum_Logo.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/698354\/Field_Museum_Logo.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n<p\/>\n<div class=\"PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference\" id=\"DivAssetPlaceHolder2\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/698353\/Field_Museum_Maximo.jpg\" title=\"Meet M\u00e1ximo, a skeletal cast of the largest dinosaur ever discovered, at the Field Museum in Chicago. \u00a9 Field Museum\" alt=\"Meet M\u00e1ximo, a skeletal cast of the largest dinosaur ever discovered, at the Field Museum in Chicago. \u00a9 Field Museum\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/698354\/Field_Museum_Logo.jpg\" title=\"Field Museum Logo \u00a9 Field Museum\" alt=\"Field Museum Logo \u00a9 Field Museum\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>SOURCE  Field Museum<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">CHICAGO<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">May 30, 2018<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212; This week, the Field Museum in <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> unveiled a cast of the largest dinosaur ever discovered, and his name&#8217;s M\u00e1ximo.
