In this 13+ minute interview, M. Travis DiNicola talks with David Wilson from the Museum of Jurassic Technology. The piece starts with a very long read into the two-way. The interview rambles from considering the museum’s microscopic works, to a long discussion on micro-miniature artists and engineers who push themselves beyond limits to do such things as carve sculptures of the Pope’s bust into individual strands of human hair, to very tangential material about some famous magician (who I have not heard of) who is a big fan and supporter of the museum. What was the purpose of this interview? I certainly was left with the impression that this is a very unique museum—but I got little sense of what I would see or experience if I were to visit. This topic would have been better handled with feature report treatment. I wanted to hear a simple general overview of the museum, then some of the peculiarities that a visitor might encounter and then introduce the genius behind it.
