The Royal Saskatchewan Museum is preparing to move its iconic dinosaur skeleton, Megamunch, to a new storage warehouse in Regina. The facility, designed to house the museum's growing fossil and artifact collection, will serve as a permanent home for Megamunch during his retirement from public display.
New Warehouse for Growing Collection
The museum's new warehouse will provide ample space for the preservation and study of fossils and artifacts. Megamunch, a beloved exhibit for decades, will be relocated to this facility to ensure his long-term care. The move comes as the museum expands its collection and seeks to modernize its storage capabilities.
Megamunch's Legacy
Megamunch, a full-scale dinosaur skeleton replica, has been a highlight of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum for years. His retirement marks the end of an era for visitors who marveled at his size and presence. The new warehouse will allow researchers to continue studying the collection while freeing up exhibition space for new displays.
The museum expects the move to be completed by the end of the year, with the warehouse becoming a hub for scientific work. Officials emphasize that Megamunch will remain accessible to researchers and will be featured in special events occasionally.
