- The 'Bizarre Headgear' exhibit at the Sam Noble Museum features an extensive collection of horned dinosaurs (ceratopsians) and other animals with extraordinary skulls.
- Highlights include early ceratopsians like Liaoceratops, Auroraceratops, Archaeoceratops, and Protoceratops, showcasing evolutionary relationships.
- The exhibit includes sculptures by Shane Foulkes and paintings by artists like Andrey Atuchin and Mark Hallett, enhancing the visual experience.
- Non-dinosaur displays feature mammals, invertebrates, and other species to contextualize the evolution of headgear across different animal groups.
- The exhibit is praised for its density and diversity of material, creating a 'cabinet of curiosities' effect and is considered highly impressive.
- Admission is included with museum entry, and the exhibit is recommended for visitors in Norman, Oklahoma, until late August.
