Les dinosaures sont devenus un sujet de collection privilégié. Leurs squelettes, oeufs, os et fossiles sont désormais des objets recherchés sur le marché de l'objet d'art contemporain. Ce livre s'interroge sur cette popularité et raconte les découvertes les plus illustres faites par le passé. Il revient aussi sur les différentes formes que la figure du dinosaure a prise dans la culture populaire.

Thijs Demeulemeester is a Belgian lifestyle journalist, specialising in the arts and architecture. He previously wrote books such as Wunderkammer – An exotic journey through time and Wonders are collectible - The beauty of beetles, bugs and butterflies. Koen Stein is a researcher specialising in vertebrate paleontology and dinosaur paleobiology. He is a member of the educational service of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS).
These days, collectors are in the grip of a fossil-collecting frenzy. Dinosaur skeletons, eggs, bones and other fossils are selling fast on the art market. How do you start a fossil collection? Why are dinosaur finds so popular? And why does a T.rex cost as much as a Picasso?
In Dinosaurs Are Collectible, we dig up stories about the most sensational dinosaur finds. You'll also read about a dandy fur-coated fossil hunter, Charles Dickens's dinosaur novels, and stylish dining in an Iguanodon.
Dinosaur mania has fired the fancy of film directors and artists, too, bringing dinosaurs back to life on screen and canvas. But could the Jurassic Park scenario ever really happen? Could we reincarnate prehistoric monsters using dinosaur DNA?
Dinosaurs Are Collectible explores it, to the bone.
