Using the partial skeleton remains, which were discovered in 1974, artists were able to create a complete skeletal mount. But most impressive is the 3-foot-6 lifelike sculpture that shows off the facial features of one of our most important relatives. 1 Wade Oval Drive, Cleveland, 216-231-4600, cmnh.org
