Architects worked with harsh environment to create sustainable buildings in location where fossils were found. The result is something that looks -- vaguely -- like pterosaur eggs in the sand.

Designed with underground exhibition halls, giant light funnels and sprawling solar farms, the museum is able to operate sustainably while withstanding an extremely harsh environment.

I wonder how it was funded.
