Does anyone know why the paleontology museum at BYU gets so little love? I've lived in quite a few US cities and have always been impressed by how well BYU's collection stacks up against other museums—even much larger ones.

Anyone know why it's crammed into a tiny, temporary-looking building in the LES parking lot? They could fill a wing at the Bean Museum with the great stuff they have there, and it's always made me wonder why it's in a small building, with very restricted visiting hours, while exhibits that frankly get overshadowed by Cabela's are taking center state at the Bean.

Hoping someone on this board (maybe a professor or former TA/RA) knows something and can weigh in.
