Exhibition Details
The exhibition will showcase eight sets of the most iconic fossil skeletons together for the first time: Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Spinosaurus, Allosaurus, Hesperosaurus, Diplodocus, Hatzegopteryx and a baby sauropod. These specimens are extremely rare and have a high level of completeness.
The exhibition is specifically designed using special visual effects and cinematography to provide an immersive setting. A number of multi-media programmes and interactive exhibits will elaborate the evolutionary path. Visitors can learn about the eight sets of precious fossil skeletons and the latest scientific discoveries in palaeontology.
Highlighted exhibits include:
- Mister Big, a Spinosaurus, had a long, flexible tail and a crocodile-like jaw, which were good for swimming and hunting in water.
- With 99% of the original bones, Big Al 2 is the most complete Allosaurus skeleton ever found.
- Victoria was the first North American Hesperosaurus found to have its skin still in good condition, revealing how dinosaurs really looked.
- Toni is the best-preserved young, long-necked sauropod specimen.
