Life-Sized Chrome T-Rex In Paris

Philippe Pasqua Chrome T-Rex - at sunset

I don’t know why no one has bothered to tell me this before, but in 2013 a life-size model of Tyrannosaurus Rex was installed atop the platform of Compagnie des Bateaux-Mouches by the River Seine in Paris, France. That’s exactly the sort of thing I want to hear about in future please.

I’m assuming he’s still there, I searched for almost one entire minute to find out if the sculpture is still in position but couldn’t find any details. Created by sculptor Philippe Pasqua, the 4-meter-tall and 7-meter-long structure is composed of 350 molded bones, all glistening and shimmery.

Well, if any of you guys find out about this type of thing in the future, make sure you let me know. Before I show you some pictures of the shining T-Rex here are some other dinosaur posts if you’re in the mood:
