The famous Trex Sue housed at the Field Museum in Chicago is being relocated with a different pose to the second floor.  Since the bones are real the removal process needs to be carefully orchestrated.  The attached article describes what's going to happen,  pretty cool

Very interesting. 

But not sure I'd fancy the job of carrying Sue's femur up the stairs to the 2nd floor. 

Crikey!

The original skull was never mounted because of weight its a replica and manageable .  The original skull was  floor displayed
