‘A T. rex named Sue’ was the most popular exhibition in the history of Puke Ariki. The Field Museum has created an wonderful experience that gives this dinosaur a personality; our visitors left feeling privileged to have had an intimate look into Sue’s life, and they made a real connection with her. It was a pleasure working with Field Museum staff - New Zealand loved Sue, and it was sad to say goodbye!
- Gerard Beckingsale, Manager of Exhibitions, Puke Ariki, New Plymouth, New Zealand
“What an amazing experience! We were thrilled by the record number of visitors and students that poured into Turtle Bay to see Sue. Guests were amazed by the enormity and complexity of the fossil, as well as the wonderful interpretive panels and interactive components that really brought the unique story of Sue to life.”
- Toby Osborn, Marketing Director, Turtle Bay Exploration Park, Redding, CA
