Carnegie Museum of Natural History created DinoMite Days, a region-wide public art event that turned back the clock to the age of dinosaurs. The exhibit, and the book that tells its story, celebrate Pittsburgh's international reputation for scientific innovation by drawing attention to the world-class dinosaur collection housed at Carnegie Museum of Natural History." "Dinosaurs of Distinction uses hundreds of full-color photographs to illustrate the very creative path the 100 DinoMite Days dinosaurs followed as they made their way through the streets of the Pittsburgh region and into the hearts of its residents. Modeled after the immensely popular "Cow Parades" of Chicago and New York, the Pittsburgh exhibit featured three different species of fiberglass dinosaurs: Tyrannosaurus rex, Stegosaurus, and Torosaurus." "The project has touched the lives of everyone in the region, in one way or another. Businesses and organizations have sponsored dinosaurs. The dinosaurs have ignited the imaginations of emerging and established artists, both local and national, who have decorated and sculpted the creatures. Millions of passersby have delighted in the designs, which have been strategically placed in prominent locations throughout the region."--BOOK JACKET.
