Dinosaurs: Surviving Extinction

28 September 2024 - 2 March 2025
10am - 5pm during Museum Opening Hours

Step into a world where ancient giants roamed and uncover how some dinosaurs evolved, survived extinction, and became the birds we see today. Through captivating displays, artworks, and interactive exhibits, this exhibition reveals the fascinating connection between dinosaurs and their avian descendants.

Did you know birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs? Groundbreaking discoveries show many shared traits, from bone structure and feathers to eggs and behaviours. With something for all ages, this exhibition brings these revelations to life, offering a glimpse into the evolutionary journey from dinosaurs to modern birds.

Explore three distinct groups of dinosaurs, including life-sized fossil displays of a 9-metre Tarbosaurus, Utahraptor, and more. Interactive exhibits like dig pits and touch fossils invite visitors to make their own discoveries about the deep connections between dinosaurs and today's birds.

Join us on a journey through time and discover how the legacy of dinosaurs lives on.
