The exhibit originated as the an International Traveling TRACKING DINOSAURS Exhibit, in 1991, and a version is still on tour in the United Kingdom until 2001. The history of the exhibit is as follows:
The original version of this exhibit was constructed by CU Denver students and faculty in 1990 and 1991 and shipped to Gunma Prefecture Japan. Two students travelled to Japan to attend the opening.
Since 1991 the exhibit has shown 4 times in Japan, 4 times in Colorado (Denver, Boulder, Grand Junction and Greeley) and a version is on permament display at the Dinosaur Museum in Blanding, Utah. The exhibit also toured three museums in Switzerland, before going to the National Museum of Wales in 1997. Since then it has been on a twelve stop tour of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, for a grand total of 24 museums in ten years.
Each Museum has a version of the exhbit for two to three months and receives anywhere up to 75,000 visitors. By now the exhibit has been seen by close to a MILLION PEOPLE. Representative posters in English, Welsh and Japanese are included as part of this exhibit.
