The redisplay of “Lion Attacking a Dromedary,” formerly known as “Arab Courier Attacked by Lions,” has opened at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

PITTSBURGH — An iconic diorama at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History has gotten more prominent placement.

Now “Lion Attacking a Dromedary,” formerly called “Arab Courier Attacked by Lions,” has moved from a corner on the second floor to the first-floor foyer that is shared by Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History.

It’s the spot where the juvenile T-Rex skeleton called Jane resided before her recent move to the expanded gift shop.

In April, the museum announced plans to remove the diorama for restoration and research.

Museum leaders renamed the diorama a translation of its original French title, “Lion Attaquant un Dromadaire.”

The well-known diorama, made by a famous French naturalist named Edouard Verreaux in the mid-1800s, depicts a dramatic scene in which lions are attacking a courier hanging onto the dromedary’s (camel’s) back.

The Carnegie Museum of Natural History acquired it from the American Museum of Natural History in 1898.

A series of symposiums is being sponsored along with the redisplay.

“This series is an opportunity to explore one of the museum’s most iconic pieces,” said Erin Peters, the museum’s joint assistant curator of science.
