Jurassic Park is a very particular (and particularly dangerous) kind of amusement park and wild-animal preserve, but I don’t think of it as a museum.

5086

The natural history museum where people go to see the skeletons on dinosaurs is regarded as a museum.
There are living museums like Beamish which attempt to bring history to life by showing people (and animals) living as they would in the past.

So why wouldn’t a place where people go to see dinosaurs live like they did in the past not be a museum.

5087

Well, the final scene of Jurassic Park, where the T-Rex kills the Raptors, takes place in a display of dinosaur skeletons, which might be considered a museum of sorts.

Always intended to be a temporary stadium, the Colt 45s/Astros used it until the Dome was ready in 1965. It was dismantled and sold(like a kit) to a baseball team in Torreon, Mexico, and then again to a team in Tampico. Due to its ability to be disassembled and reassembled, the stadium became popularly know as Millon de Tuercas (million screws).

Probably the only MLB stadium that was sent down to the minors :slight_smile:
