Royal Sask Museum – Scotty Exhibit

When the Royal Saskatchewan Museum was looking to display their newest finding, they turned to Alfa Engineering and Christie Lites Saskatchewan to bring 70 million years of history to life again in a new exhibit displaying the largest Tyrannosaurus Rex ever discovered.  This 13 meter long and 8,800kg carnivore is 65% in tact and towers over visitors to the exhibit.  With some help from a theatrical background and direction from the Royal Saskatchewan exhibit curators, Christie Lites used a scale model of the proposed exhibit to come up with the lighting scheme which consist of ETC ColorSource Spots to light both the skeletal remains as well as other features along side a set of ColorSource Cyc fixtures used to bring the back wall to life.  An ETC Mosaic control system is used to transition the backdrop from sunrise through sunset and back during the day along with button stations along the upper floor of the exhibit which change a focused fixture red to highlight certain bone features as they learn.  ETC DataTrack and Arch fixtures are also used throughout the space to highlight some of the smaller displays.
