Paris Gets a Shiny Life-Sized T-Rex Skeleton, Making it Cooler than ALL CITIES

Philippe Pasqua’s Life-Size T-Rex is Invading Paris


A four-meter-tall tyrannosaurus rex is currently standing over the Seine river in Paris. Sculpted by Philippe Pasqua, the life-sized model is built of 350 chrome-molded bones and was created to promote contemporary art along the river. A replica of dinosaur remains discovered in China, Pasqua’s reconstruction is perfected right down to its long tail and teeth, making this sculpture a showcase of his artistic ingenuity as well as of it's shock value.
