Museum of the Rockies

今天我们参观了蒙大拿州博兹曼市的恐龙博物馆，该馆的恐龙化石研究和馆藏量闻名世界。斯皮尔伯格拍摄《侏罗纪公园》时，想必也先到这里来考察过。

We visited Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana today. MOR is very famous for its research and exhibition of dinosaur fossils. I guess Spielberg must have visited here before he made the movie, Jurassic Park.

这里另外一个吸引眼球的展览是奥普廊提斯的山庄。奥普廊提斯距离庞贝城很近，公元79年，为苏威火山突然爆发，火山熔岩掩埋了包括庞贝, 奥普廊提斯在内的附近好几个城镇。这次博物馆将展出最近考古学家们从奥普廊提斯发掘的许多珍贵的文物。

Another exhibition that you must see is The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii. Oplontis is near to Pompeii. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 buried several cities and towns nearby, which include Pompeii and Oplontis. Many precious artifacts, which have been excavated from Oplontis, will be part of the exhibition at MOR.
