Dinosaurs roam New York’s Bowery

Amanita gallery in New York’s Bowery is presenting a rare exhibition pairing a John Chamberlain sculpture, *Gondola Marianne Moore* (1982), with three full, mounted Maiasaura dinosaur skeletons from the Upper Cretaceous period. The fossils, which are 62% to 85% real bone, have never before been exhibited in New York, let alone in a commercial gallery. Amanita partner Jacob Hyman emphasizes the show is not a gimmick but a serious exploration of sculpture, compression, and time, linking Chamberlain’s crushed automobile-part gondolas to the natural preservation of fossils.

Beyond the Mission Statement: Everhart Museum

The Everhart Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania, celebrates 119 years of connecting the community to art, science, and natural history. Founded in 1908 by Civil War surgeon Dr. Isaiah Everhart, the museum has evolved from a cultural centerpiece during the Industrial Revolution into a regional attraction featuring fossils, taxidermy, folk art, and traveling exhibits. Recent highlights include a NASA exhibit that brought astronaut Paul Richards back to the museum where he first visited as a child, and the museum's folk art collection is noted as one of the best in the country, with pieces borrowed by major institutions like the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
