The Carnegie Museum has one of the largest collections of dinosaur bones in the world. The only problem is that the way they were presented all these years was wrong. Visitors might have come away with the idea that all dinosaurs were huge, slow moving creatures. But newer discovery show that dinosaurs were generally smaller and faster than scientists once thought.So directors of the Carnegie Museum decided to rebuild the ten dinosaurs in their collection. And they added new ones. Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy businessman, built the Dinosaur Hall a century ago. He paid for a scientific trip that discovered a new kind of dinosaur. Those bones are still in the collection. But it was time to give the hall a makeover. Now, more than two years and thirty-six million dollars, most of the work is finished.The museum opened its new exhibit to the public on November twenty-first. The collection is now called "Dinosaurs in Their Time." 卡内基博物馆是世界上收藏恐龙骨骼最多的博物馆之一，唯一的问题是长期以来人们展示这些恐龙骨骼的方式是错误的。游客们可能带着“所有的恐龙都是巨大的、行动缓慢的动物”的想法离开这个博物馆的，但是，最新的发现表明，通常，恐龙比科学家们曾经想象的要少得多，行动也快得多。所以，一些卡内基博物馆的董事们决定用他们所收集的恐龙骨骼重新拼组十个恐龙，而且他们还要增加一些新的恐龙。安德鲁.卡内基，是一个非常富有的商人，他在一个世纪之前兴建了这座恐龙展览大厅，他还为科学家寻找新的恐龙种类提供资金，这些恐龙骨骼仍在持续的收集之中。但这座恐龙展览大厅已经到了改造的时候了。现在，经过两年多时间和花费3600万美元后，恐龙大厅的改造主体工程已经完成。今年11月21日，博物馆向公众展示它的新的展品，这一收藏现在称之为“恐龙时代”。
