PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE EXPLORING THE WEBSITE.
WARNING TO PARENTS! This website is not aimed at children (including hatchlings, juveniles and subadults). So if you’re looking for cute and cuddly dinosaurs like “Barney” or the lovable characters from Disney’s Dinosaur and The Land Before Time movies, I strongly suggest that you go to someone else’s “dinosaur website” (parental judgement is advised).
GREETINGS TO FANS OF DINOSAURS AND ALL THINGS PREHISTORIC! Welcome to my very large collection of “prehistoria” — perhaps the world’s largest! My home has become a “museum,” as you will see when you go through the photos posted on this website (mostly in “Gallery 1“), each room loaded with dinosaur and other “prehistoric” items. My friendly “Museum Tour Guides” will take you on a virtual journey through the house, one room at a time, as if you were actually here, and show many of the items displayed in each room. But there are also some interesting things to see outside in my own “Dinosaur Park.”
WARNING! “Gallery 2” contains images that some visitors may consider “risqué” due to partial nudity. Entering this Gallery is recommended only for visitors at least 18 years of age who are not offended by such images.
I’ve tried to make this website informative, but also fun. Many of the pages have links (CLICK HERE) to sub-pages and sub-sub pages (HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW)… and some of those have links within links to yet more sub-pages. Don’t miss those if you want to get the full experience of this website — though it may take you weeks or longer. But, like a paleontologist doing field work, you’ll have to dig. But I warn you, while much of this website is “paleontologically correct,” it is by no means, as you will discover, “politically correct” (it’s “BC,” not “PC”).
The quickest (though not necessarily safest) way to get to Gallery 1 is to click on…
And remember, after the indoor part of the tour, make sure you visit my backyard “Dinosaur Park” (video), also CLICK HERE” (or on the photo below, left).
Meet my Museum Deputy Director (photo below) — who will introduce you to the various sections of this website and also to our team of friendly Museum Tour Guides. In fact, now and then you will also see her doing double duty, volunteering as one of those Tour Guides.
Dancer-Model Mu Wang (photo below) — who is also one of my Museum Tour Guides, whom you will soon meet — was so inspired by my prehistoric collection that she performed two mostly impromptu, interpretive free-style dances that became Mu-Seum and Danse Prehistorique, music videos starring, choreographed and edited by Mu, and directed and videographed by me.
For a friendly greeting from one of my Museum Tour Guides, CLICK HERE or on the photo below.
Back in the 1980s, my house became the set, with some items in my collection used as props, for two ABC television specials, Dinosaurs and More Dinosaurs, both starring Gary Owens and Eric Boardman (photos below), the latter show subsequently released on home video and DVD. In 2012 the outdoor part of my collection was featured on the ABC prime-time television series Nightline. In 2014, for the movie Mickey’s Summer Resort, and in 2015 for the horror film Pale Horse, my home and backyard were used as location sets for some scenes.
For a brief but cool video tour through my collection, courtesy of Jerry (Karlos Borloff) Moore — horror host of the Monster Madhouse TV show — just CLICK HERE (or on the photo below left). For a more recent (12/2023) tour through my house and collection, CLICK HERE.
To go directly to Gallery 1, CLICK HERE or on the photo below of one of our many cordial Museum Tour Guides. She and the others on the Tour Guide team will lead you through my museum home and prehistoric collection.
Visitors — who are at least 18 years old – may also want to check out Gallery 2. If so, CLICK HERE or on the photo below, left. There’s a whole “tribe of cavegirls” outside waiting to meet you. But watch out for those spears!
SUGGESTION: This ever-growing website may be one of biggest websites on the planet! Experiencing everything on it, reading all the text, seeing all the images and clicking on every like, will take you days, even weeks or more. It is strongly urged that you do not take it all in at one time — or risk going extinct!
SUGGESTION: To view this website as I designed it and mean it to be seen, it’s best to visit it from a desk computer. Often viewing the site on a smart phone, laptop, etc. — because of technical design issues — shows the pictures and text in confusing configurations and incorrect places that I did not intend.
SUGGESTION: As already mentioned, this website is loaded with internal (and some external) links, all of them highlighted in yellow. To get the full experience of this website, click on any text you see in yellow. There are many surprises to be found that you might otherwise miss.
Alas, Gremlins (even the prehistoric species) unfortunately too often sneak into websites and work their mischief, especially one this big — in this case, usually links from thumbnails getting broken and taking the person clicking on them to incorrect places, or losing images and leaving their spaces blank. Sometimes I spot and then correct these glitches, but not always.
So please, if they get into this one and you spot any misspellings, typographical errors, links that have stopped working, text not placed with an obviously corresponding picture, missing images, duplicated iages or something that just doesn’t look right, please report the errors to me ASAP so I can promptly repair the damage. And please be specific so I will know where to make the fix. Thank you.
Also, if I take down a page for revisions or a potential replacement, you will see a notice as in the photo below. I hope that the missing page will be repaired or replaced eventually.
OK!
All set? Then if you’ve read all of the above, you are ready to take the tour, maybe starting off with Gallery 1, Exhibits 1. Just CLICK HERE or on the third photo below and Captain Paula (photo below, left) — plus her two Lieutenants (subsequent photos below) and team of friendly “Museum Tour Guides” — will lead you through my vast prehistoric collection.
But see also the other places to visit with the links at the top of this page — the beginnings of my collection, my personal background with creatures long extinct and the origins of my huge collection, my old Prehistoric Parties, Dinosaur Tracks music, first professional motion picture Dinosaur Valley Girls and a Bibliography of published things I’ve written, even a way to contact me.
Have a fun museum safari!
I hope you enjoyed the tour.
Remember, you are always welcome to come back for another visit. My collection continues to undergo ontogenetic changes and evolve … and I frequently make edits, adding new things, deleting old things, moving things around. You may see something new or in a different place. And my Deputy Director and team of Museum Tour Guides are always here to serve you and take you on another trip through my prehistoric collection. And please, if you have friends who love dinosaurs and other things prehistoric, tell them to check out this website. To paraphrase a lyric from an old song, see you later, Neovenator!
Thank you.
President/Director/Collection Curator
