#2 Sites In Montana

Along with its planetarium, the museum - part of the Smithsonian Institution - is renowned for its excellent displays of dinosaurs and dinosaur eggs, including skeletons and realistic models of the numerous species found in the state. The museum's dinosaur collection is in fact the largest in the US and includes the world's biggest Tyrannosaurus skull, a T-Rex thighbone with soft-tissue remains, as well as "Big Mike," a T-Rex skeleton at the museum entrance. Other highlights include displays dedicated to native peoples of Yellowstone Country; pioneer and Western art exhibits; and Tinsley House, an original pioneer log home from the late 1800s.
