If you're the parent of a dino-crazy kid this one looks cool.
It opens with a beautiful picture of a T-Rex, but look more closely and you'll see it's actually a mosaic of over 1000 snaps of dinosaur exhibits from the museum's collection. Each picture reveals facts and figures and there's even a story section.
