Dinosaur Discovery Museum in Kenosha, Wisconsin, USA, is dedicated to the exploration and explication of the relationship between modern birds and ancient carnivorous biped dinosaurs, the theropods, which include Carnotaurus, Tyrannosaurus rex, and Velociraptor. This link is especially well documented in the fossil record. The museum may have the largest skeletal cast collection in North America.[citation needed]
The museum houses the Carthage Institute of Paleontology and an on-site laboratory. The institute conducts field explorations.
Dr. Thomas Carr, vertebrate paleontologist, is the curator of the museum and director of the Carthage Institute of Paleontology.
The museum is unrelated to the Dinosaur Discovery Center in Maine.
