Loaning out bones
While it remains unclear whether Stan’s mysterious new owner will loan the skeleton to museums or scientists, other collectors are making a concerted effort to share their treasures.
The largest dinosaur museum in the world is the Tianyu Museum of Nature in Shandong, China, which was founded by gold-mining tycoon Zheng Xiaoting. The Stephen Hui Geological Museum at the University of Hong Kong carries the name of the late mining engineer, geologist and philanthropist who donated his extensive rock, mineral and fossil collection to the university to establish the city’s first geological museum.
Chu founded the social group Singapore Fossil Collectors, which organises fossil exhibitions and meet-ups between fossil enthusiasts, and is behind the Travelling Natural History Museum, an initiative that sees Chu and other collectors bring their fossils to schools around the city-state.
