INDIANAPOLIS — A world famous T. rex named SUE and a rambunctious teenage T. rex named Bucky will be part of a

T. rex celebration at the world’s largest children’s museum in 2021.

The Field Museum is sending a cast of SUE (one of the largest, most complete, and best-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex ever unearthed) on a mini vacation to The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. At more than 40-feet-long and 13-feet-high, SUE is remarkable because of its size, completeness, and quality of preservation. The full-sized cast of SUE’s skeleton will be on display at the world’s largest children’s museum from March 6- July 25, 2021.

Bucky, the teenage T. rex, was roaring up a storm when he heard the news. Bucky is the first teenage T. rex put on permanent display in a museum. He’s also the first T. rex to be identified with a furcula, or collar bone. Bucky was named after the young rancher and rodeo cowboy Bucky Derflinger who discovered Bucky in 1998.

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is proud to partner with Riley Children’s at Indiana University Health, Old National Bank and Ice Miller LLP.
