Next month, Sotheby’s will auction Gus, one of the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex specimens ever discovered, with an estimated value of $20–30 million. Its immense size is rivaled by only two other excavated T. rex specimens – one of them being Stan, whose skeletal model you can see here at Art Zoo.

Look closely as you wander through RELICS – you'll find coral in the most unexpected places, most of them forged in steel. Did you know coral are spineless marine animals, whose colonies can live for thousands of years?

What is a bone map?

A bone or osteological map is a visual guide used in paleontology to show which parts of a fossil specimen are original bones and which parts have been restored or reconstructed.

In the maps created by our paleontologists, red marks the real fossil bones, while white indicates the reconstructed parts. This allows us to understand the actual state of preservation of the specimen at a glance.

It is a simple but essential tool: it shows where the fossil evidence is present, where scientific reconstruction begins, and how paleontologists bring back to life an animal from millions of years ago.

A bone map makes the invisible process of interpretation visible.

The fossilized Mosasaurus skull in the RELICS collection originates from Morocco’s Khouribga Basin, once a shallow tropical sea teeming with marine predators. Rapid burial in phosphate-rich mud preserved these remains in remarkable detail, making Khouribga one of the world’s richest sources of marine reptile fossils. This bone map offers a rare look into the skull’s composition, with nearly 70% of the original bone still preserved.

For one special afternoon, the RELICS exhibition room became an avant-garde dining experience. Darwin, Sinke & van Tongeren transformed the space into a showstopping private lunch for their clients, alongside Michelin Chef Leon Mazairac. With every detail curated by the artists, it made for a truly otherworldly tablescape.
