Profile

Where did all of the dinosaurs go?
This unique exhibition presents a 50-million-year look at the dramatic events that led to the extinction of dinosaurs and rise of mammals. More than 300 specimens will be showcased, over three-quarters of them real fossils. Visitors will stand in awe at the two amazing life-size dioramas (recreated 3D settings): one showing eerily realistic-looking models of dinosaurs locked in confrontation, the other presenting some unusual beasts that followed long after the Dinosaur Age. An unforgettable Extinction Theatre, complete with special effects, will offer a chilling sense of the catastrophic asteroid collision that sealed the dinosaurs’ fate 65 millions years ago.
