In 1984, life-sized dinosaur models—including a massive T. rex from the 1964 World’s Fair—were airlifted by helicopter to the Boston Museum of Science.

The sight of dinosaurs soaring above skyscrapers drew national attention and large crowds.

Originally transported by barge from New York, their final flight to Boston became one of the museum’s most iconic moments, blending science, spectacle, and history.

From the 1950s to the late 1990s, Macy’s flagship New York store used Doberman Pinschers as part of its overnight security team.

These elite guard dogs patrolled the building with human handlers, protecting the massive retail space and deterring intruders.

The program lasted nearly 40 years and became a legendary example of canine-powered retail security.

In the early 1950s, Marilyn Monroe was just beginning her rise to fame, transitioning from modeling to acting.

Small roles in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve helped launch her career. Rare photos from this time, including a candid series taken in Griffith Park, capture her natural beauty and charm before she became a Hollywood icon.
