I hate to temporarily break the chain of Rush t-shirts, but this picture was taken before I had begun this Stegosaurus quest in earnest. (We were on tour in 2019.) Originally, visiting these museums were just a nice way of killing time in foreign cities before our shows. Only later did it turn into a full-blown fascination! The Naturalis Biodiversity center is a great museum located about an hour outside of Amsterdam. It was an extremely popular tourist destination, and I remember having to wait a long time for other people to clear out so I could take this picture. It was worth it though. What a beautiful specimen, made even more life-like by the huge painted canvas backdrop behind it. I loved that approach to the exhibit.
