This year is the 100th anniversary of the opening of the present building of the
National Museum of Natural History (Washington, DC)! (The museum itself officially opened in
1910).
Part of the
Smithsonian Institution, the National Museum of Natural History has an extensive array of dinosaurs, arranged as part of a chronology of life, from Paleozoic to Cenozoic times.

In addition to tyrannosaurs, the National Museum of Natural History features stegosaurs, diplodocids, ceratopsians, hadrosaurs, as well as a full complement of aquatic reptiles, pterosaurs, and Mesozoic birds. And it's all just down the ramp from the Hope Diamond.
