This is not your ordinary dinosaur exhibition! Ultimate Dinosaurs reveals a new breed of dinosaurs that evolved in isolation in South America, Africa, and Madagascar — dinosaurs unfamiliar to popular imagination. You’ll feel the exciting and intimidating presence of these exotic creatures as you wander amongst the 13 life–size casts, in addition to authentic dinosaur fossils and touchable fossilized dinosaur specimens. Cutting-edge technology and augmented reality interactives put a new twist on bringing these prehistoric creatures to life in the 21st century. From the tiny Eoraptor to the massive Giganotosaurus (T. rex’s bigger, badder cousin), Ultimate Dinosaurs is a fascinating study of species you have not met before.
The exhibition tells the story of the break-up of the supercontinent Pangaea into the continents that we know today and the ways that continental drift affected the evolution of dinosaurs during the Mesozoic Era, 250-65 million years ago. As Pangaea divided first into Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south, and later into the many continents we know today, dinosaurs were passengers on these drifting land masses. You’ll discover that an amazing diversity of species evolved because of this phenomenon. Dinosaurs imposed geographic location helped promote their evolution into an incredible array of unusual forms that dominated wherever they lived. The exhibition seeks to answer the question: why are southern dinosaurs so unique and bizarre, and why are they so different from their North American counterparts?
Don’t miss your chance to see Ultimate Dinosaurs before it closes on Sunday, April 23, 2023. Admission is included with all museum admission tickets. k
