Colbert of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and John Ostrom of the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University. After the Fair closed, the statue was featured in Sinclair's traveling Dinoland display.[1][2][5][6] In 1967, Sinclair donated the nine dinosaurs to various American museums and the Smithsonian.[1][2] The Smithsonian's Uncle Beazley was initially displayed at the Zoo.[2] In July 1967, a crew from NBC-TV visited the Zoo to film the statue during the production of The Enormous Egg. After the filming ended, Sinclair donated the statue to the Smithsonian.[7] Uncle Beazley was present at the Smithsonian's Anacostia Neighborhood Museum when the museum opened on September 15, 1967.[8]From the 1970s to 1994, the statue was located at the National Mall in front of the National Museum of Natural History.[2][9] In 1994, the statue was returned to the Zoo and was displayed in the former rhinoceros yard until 2003, when the yard was renovated for the Zoo's expanding Asian elephant family.[2][10] In 2007, the Zoo and Smithsonian exhibits staff began work to restore the dinosaur.[2] Zoo staff also created a garden exhibit for Uncle Beazley near Lemur Island with funding from a gift from a Director's Circle donor in memory of her parents.[2][11] The "dinosaur garden" features plants such as ferns, papyrus, and giant taro whose ancestors existed during the age of the dinosaurs.[2][11] The statue was again refurbished in 2011.[5][12] NBC's telecast of The Enormous Egg also featured five smaller triceratops models that Louis Paul Jonas had created to represent the dinosaur during its youth.[7][13] In 1979, George Heinemann, the telecast's producer, donated the models to Pittsfield's Berkshire Museum, a Smithsonian Affiliate organization in Western Massachusetts. In 2014, the five models, the largest of which bears the name of Uncle Beazley, were moved to Pittsfield's public library, the Berkshire Athenaeum.[14] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite book|first=James M.|last=Goode|title=Uncle Beazley|work=The Outdoor Sculpture of Washington, D.C.: A Comprehensive Historical Guide|location=Washington, D.C.|publisher=Smithsonian Institution Press|year=1974|page=260|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nXLqAAAAMAAJ|isbn=9780881032338|oclc=2610663|accessdate=2016-07-04|quote=This 25-foot long replica of a Triceratops ... was placed on the Mall in 1967. ... The full-size Triceratops replica and eight other types of dinosaurs were designed by two prominent paleontologists, Dr. Barnum Brown of the American Museum of Natural History, in New York City, and Dr. John Ostrom of the Peabody Museum, in Peabody, Massachusetts. The sculptor, Louis Paul Jonas, executed these prehistoric animals in fiberglass, after the designs of Barnum and Ostrom, for the Sinclair Refining Company's Pavilion at the New York World's Fair of 1964. After the Fair closed, the nine dinosaurs, which weighed between 2 and 4 tons each, were placed on trucks and taken on a tour of the eastern United States. The Sinclair Refining Company promoted the tour for public relations and advertising purposes, since their trademark was the dinosaur. In 1967, the nine dinosaurs were given to various American museums. This particular replica was used for the filming of The Enormous Egg, a movie made by the National Broadcasting Company for television, based on a children's book of the same name by Oliver Buttersworth. The film features an enormous egg, out of which hatches a baby Tricerotops; the boy consults with the Smithsonian Institution which accepts Uncle Beazley for the National Zoo.}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 {{cite web|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070612081739/http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/ZooArt/UncleBeazley/|archivedate=June 12, 2007|url=http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/ZooArt/UncleBeazley/|title=A Dinosaur at the Zoo|work=Art at the National Zoo|publisher=Smithsonian National Zoological Park|location=Washington, D.C.|accessdate=July 1, 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160815205511/https://www.si.edu/content/Accessibility/matm/nzp/zoo-map.pdf|archivedate=August 15, 2016|url=https://www.si.edu/content/Accessibility/matm/nzp/zoo-map.pdf|title=Map of National Zoo showing Lemur Island|work=Smithsonian National Zoo Sensory Map|location=Washington, D.C.|publisher=Smithsonian Institution|accessdate=October 2, 2016}} 4. ^1 (1) {{cite book|last=Butterworth|first=Oliver, illustrated by Louis Darling|author-link=Oliver Butterworth|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wtIa1N0-Z78C|title=The Enormous Egg|location=Boston, Massachusetts|publisher=Little, Brown and Co.|year=1956|isbn=0590475460|oclc=299175|accessdate=July 4, 2016}} (2) {{cite web|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120831191835/http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/book/enormous-egg|archivedate=July 31, 2012|url=http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/book/enormous-egg|title=About this book|work=The Enormous Egg by Oliver Butterworth, illustrated by Louis Darling|publisher=Scholastic Inc.|year=2016|accessdate=July 3, 2016|quote=At first Nate doesn't see what all the fuss is all about.
