Explore the remarkable journey from ancient dinosaurs to modern birds through fossil discoveries and life-sized replicas. In this temporary exhibition, students will examine three key dinosaur groups – Ceratopsians, Ornithopods and Theropods – to uncover the evolutionary links they share with today’s birds.
Fossil specimens, life-like artwork and interactive elements reveal how these dinosaurs lived, behaved and ultimately shaped modern birds. Book your visit now as spaces are limited.
