A visitor center has been built on the site of the original discovery, at a cost of $6.8 million, £4 million, and was opened by the mayor of Leicester in a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

I think this kind of took a turn for me, with Jurassic Park on one side, along with displaying a replica of a king's skeleton, and on the other side a technique for better producing museum exhibits that would otherwise be more difficult to create.

 

 

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations
