giant dinosaur sculpture arrives at MIM
The work, created with cans of rusty iron, measures 4.10 meters high, 3.80 meters long, and will be opened on Wednesday, along with the installation "Finding the Whale," with 65 real bones that belonged to a seven-calf Mysticeti meters.
All part of a space problem. After a successful test pay grade at the Catholic University, Mariana Milos decided to take the dinosaur that was created in his home. There he settled in the yard, soon becoming the great attraction of the neighborhood. Of course, not every day people walking down the street one of the town of Providence may be surprised by a dinosaur scale, which plays the role of guardian.
But a change of address, last year precipitated the relocation of the Tyrannosaurus rex.
Mariana and her brother Sebastian Milos, the founder of the company Ludik, then decided that the MIM is the ideal place for sculpture, mainly because every day is a thousand children who visit the museum.
"I was moving home and did not have enough space to display the dinosaur. Thus arose the idea of \u200b\u200bcontact with people of MIM. I thought the best place for children to admire Braulio was the museum, so I sent a letter, and they answered me right away letting me know that they agreed, "says the young Bachelor of Arts from Catholic University.
"Braulio was born from the union of rusted iron plates, arc welding," says its creator. The idea in the use of materials was extolling the passage of time, but avoid the corrosion that results from water and moisture.
This raises the concern of creating a giant extinct animal, friendly looking, he could become a nice memory.
"It took me about three months to do it. I was obsessed with him and tried to do my best.
Once completed, the sculpture spent some time in the school in The Accountant. There
a woman who regularly attended the extension courses, he said: "I
I have the name to baptize the dinosaur. Put Braulio "says the sculptor.
And so this specimen was baptized on Wednesday at 13:00 will be delivered administrators officially Interactive Mirador Museum. Its final location is next to the casino, street Punta Arenas.

Braulio But the arrival of the MIM is not the only change for next week. "Finding Whale" is a sculptural installation with 65 real bones that belonged to a whale Mysticeti of seven meters, which will also be inaugurated on Wednesday with Braulio.
Abraham Chaparro, an island fisherman Toto in the XI and friend Mariana Milos, made the discovery and gave the bones to it; who happened to be on the island gathered material for exam.
in sealed boxes, the artist brought the bones to the capital and began to make art with them.
Currently these are installed inside the Aquarium Santiago, also next to the MIM. The installation comes from a wall as if it were an archaeological find, in the shape of the whale in motion.
"The idea is that all Aquarium visitors can admire the beauty of this skeleton and thus supplement their educational experience," says Mariana Milos.
