The Crystal Palace Dinosaurs in London. During the early days of Paleontology a bunch of statues were put up in 1854 in London for the public. They are totally inaccurate by today's science (they have the famously wrong Iguanodon with a thumb for a horn) but they are just so cool and quaint and have survived until today, although they are in somewhat disrepair but have been taken into protection by the Historical Society.
