The skeleton is now mounted at the Natural History Museum at Tøyen in Oslo. The exhibition opens to the public already on Saturday. – This is great fun! It’s like Lego for adults, says an enthusiastic Jørn Hurum to NTB. He is a professor of palaeontology at the museum, which has now acquired the two duckbill dinosaurs Zelda and Zara. Experts from Italy and craftsmen from several countries are working hard to assemble the fragile bones in time for the opening. – It’s boiling here, but we’ll make it. Now the little things will gradually be put in place, and then we will be ready with juice and dino muffins for the children on Saturday, says Hurum. Zelda and Zara are the first complete dinosaur skeletons in Norway. The museum already has several dinosaur skeletons on display, but these are only casts of original skeletons located in other countries.
