The world’s most expensive dinosaur fossil ever sold at auction will be exhibited at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the museum announced on Thursday, 5 December.
The $44.6m stegosaurus, known as “Apex”, was bought by billionaire Kenneth C Griffin at Sotheby’s in July.
The auction house had initially anticipated it would sell for between $4m and $6m, but a bidding war broke out.
“Apex” will be displayed at the institution as part of a four-year loan from the Citadel hedge fund founder.
It will be on view at the museum from Sunday, 8 December.
