In every self-respecting Natural History Museum, you can see more or less preserved dinosaur skeleton … And in the Museum of the American State of Virginia there are two of them at once - one real and one built from balloons artist Larry Moss.
American Larry Moss has been creating unusual works from interconnected oblong balloons for several years. But, if before that he made copies of the most famous paintings in the world, then recently he switched to sculptures.
And in the Natural History Museum of Virginia the other day there was a huge dinosaur made by this author from several hundred balls.
Arkonsasaurus (Acrocanthosaurus) - this is how Larry Moss called his work, beating the standard dinosaur name and the name of his native state. This sculpture is six meters high and is located in the same room where there is a real skeleton of a prehistoric lizard, on the basis of which the artist made this unusual copy.
It took Larry Moss and his team four days to create this rather extraordinary piece of art. At the same time, he was also helped by elementary school students and employees, where the sculpture ended up.
And, if usually works of art appear in art museums and galleries, then Acrocanthosaurus from Larry Moss went to the Museum of Natural History, which is as unusual as the work itself.
The Acrocanthosaurus will stay where it is supposedly for a couple of months while it can hold its shape. After all, air eventually leaves the balloons through micropores, which means that the sculpture will sooner or later slump and settle, lose its former volume and proportions (unlike a real dinosaur skeleton, for which a million years is not age).

Perhaps that is why in Las Vegas (Nevada, USA) the opening of a museum with the uncomplicated name The Mob Museum dedicated to organized crime was perceived as a phenomenon, albeit shocking, but quite natural

Hine Mutsushima NOT Natural History Museum
Natural history museums store exhibits that tell about the past of the Earth and its inhabitants: stones, minerals, skeletons, stuffed animals, collections of insects and plants. There is no place for jokes and fun: science is serious business. But not for Hine Mizushima, who created a parody "Museum of Unnatural History" from exhibits made with her own hands. No, Hine Mutsushima is not one of those malicious craftsmen who glue the jaws of a monkey to a human skull and excite
