Dilophosaurus, the carnivorous dinosaur from 'Jurrasic Park,' Danny DeVito, the evil Penguin from 'Batman Returns' and a model of the Alien Queen from 'Aliens' will figure among a collection of Hollywood memorabilia that is soon coming to Mumbai. The country's first ever musuem-archive-entertainment centre 'The Osianama,' has purchased Rs 1.15 crore worth of artworks used in various Hollywood films and auctioned at the recent 'Profiles in History' auction held at Los Angeles.

The highlight of the collection is the hand-painted and detailed solid poly-foam pieces of the Dilophosaurus display study used in the Steven Speilberg's 'Jurrasic Park' bought for USD 27,500.

Neville Tuli, the founder chairman of Archive cum Auction House, Osian, says "Young minds have a fascination for the Sci-Fi and horror film creatures which show magnificent imagination and represent some of the most unique creations of Hollywood. To see the smiles on the faces of our children when they see these artworks will be wonderful." The adult Pteranodon and five banies "feeding" on screen used Baby T Rex stunt puppet from Jurassic Park II as well as the Dilophosaurus display study are all mounted on a wooden base.

Also the Danny DeVito Penguin display study from the 1992 Warner Bros blockbuster 'Batman Returns' bought for USD 42,500 is a meticulously created full-scale model built and painted by the same artists responsible for designing and sculpting the original look of the Penguin.

Produced from molds used for makeup pieced and a 66 inch life cast of Danny DeVito, was purchased along with the hero penguin Henchman from the same film.
