We’ve never found a fully intact T. Rex, but we know how to build one.

When paleontologists uncover a dinosaur they usually only find part of the animal, but when we walk through a museum we see exhibits that paint a full picture - so how do they fill in all those blank spaces? In the early 1900’s artists used to hand carve the pieces, but we’ve come a long way in the past century - both technologically and scientifically.
Now, we’re living in what some call a “golden age” for paleontology. Researchers are uncovering nearly one new species of dinosaur a week - making building exhibits easier and more efficient.
Norell’s newest exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History called T.Rex: The ultimate predator is open through August 9th 2020: www.amnh.org/exhibitions/t-re...
If you want to learn more about the Brontosaurus mishap and revival you can read the study here: peerj.com/articles/857/
Throughout the research, I also found this really awesome interactive graphic that show where and when various fossils were found: paleobiodb.org/navigator/

You know what would be really cool to see in more museums? Exhibits that were color coated or something to show what’s real, what was synthesized and what’s something we haven’t discovered yet. Like I get it that it’s nice to see what the full skeleton most likely looked like but I think this could be done while still achieving the same effect. Besides it’d be more honest and it’d make seeing a full or nearly complete skeleton that much more impressive.
@DR---

The reason they don't do that is because it's a scam. I personally think dinosaurs were made up as a straw man to poke holes in the theory of evolution. Think about it. When creationists try to attack evolution they always attack the theory of dinosaurs. But if dinosaurs aren't real that doesn't weaken the theory of evolution it strengthens it.

@Carter Smith They actually do that in copenhagen natural museum! Sort of. There are informational displays that shows with color which pieces are real and which are created. And once it's pointed out, you can sort of see that the created pieces have a slightly different collor in real life too. Anyway, the first few skeletons they show only have like the skull and a few bones, and then they hit you with an almost complete tyranosaurus skeleton! The tyranosaurus would have been impressive under any circumstances, but it does add a little extra oomph! ^^

Lauding the decision to compare T-Rex skeletal anatomy to an Allosaurus and then calling an Apatosaurus skeleton fitted to a Camarasaurus skull "a bad assumption" is kind of absurd. T-Rex is about as dissimilar to Allosaurus as Apatasaurus is to Camarasaurus. Apatosaurus being fitted to a Camarasaurus skull had been a sensible mistake for the time. Also, the name change of "Brontosaurus" to "Apatosaurus" is a little too simplified. The name "Apatosaurus" existed before "Brontosaurus," and the name change had nothing to do with the skull at all. It had everything to do with the conclusion that Brontosaurus was a juvenile form of Apatasaurus (distinguished by bones in the hip).

I'm not sure if this has already been addressed elsewhere or in the other comments down below, but a slight correction: Brontosaurus wasn't "renamed" Apatosaurus, the scientists had just mistakenly named one of the newer fossils they had discovered as Brontosaurus, not knowing at the time that they were looking at a species that had already been discovered and named a while ago - Apatosaurus. And surely, sticking the wrong head on the newer fossil didn't help them realize their error either, and so when eventually they had figured it out that Brontosaurus and Apatosaurus were the exact same species, they went with the rules of the naming conventions and stuck with Apatosaurus, since that was the name they had come up with first. This a just my humble observation, and I love the work you guys are doing. Keep up the good work! :)

For a while, they changed the name to Apatosaurus because usually, the names are assigned to the earliest discovery. Then, more recently, they decided that there were two species of similar dinosaurs and they were talking about assigning Bronto saurus to one, and the other, Apatosaurus. I think they're still arguing about that, though.

Wow, this is kinda surprising but mostly the part that theirs only 46 (I'm guessing 'complete') t-rex skeletal remains I though museums had like hundreds of them. In hindsight alot of people probably try to sell them parts for high prices and those parts might be the same kind of bones they already have so they skip out on it.
