Bumpersaurus Has Moved!
What’s 12 feet long, purple and made of an assortment of car parts? It’s Bumpersaurus!
The dinosaur-shaped creature, which also features a children’s slide that spits riders out of its mouth, found a new home at the Fort Worth Public Library’s Central location (500 W. 3rd St.) in September. Previously, Bumpersaurus entertained generations of children at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History.
It’s nearly impossible to miss Bumpersaurus, as he greets visitors near the Library’s main entrance from his new lair inside the Hazel Harvey Peace Youth Center.
Bumpersaurus features headlights for eyes and rearview mirrors for eyelashes; excavator buckets for feet; moon hub caps and license plates for scales; half of a bumper car for the nose; Vespa fenders for hips; and 520 steel nuts creating unique stegosaurus-like spikes.
The art piece was created by Allen Boerger from Roto Studios and donated to the museum by Dan E. Lowrance. We’re glad it’s found a new home where it will be loved for generations to come!
