The gallery David Aaron has brokered a deal between a top American art collecting couple and London’s Natural History Museum to acquire a dinosaur skeleton valued at £450,000. The specimen was donated to the NHM and unveiled last month, marking a permanent addition to their collection. This collaboration between the trade and museums is unusual but successful, according to gallery director Salomon Aaron, who facilitated the acquisition after determining the fossils were an entirely new species, named Enigmacursor.
