calendar_month

Nov 17, 2025 - Ongoing

Description

Trace the timeline before and after dinosaurs became extinct through this explorative exhibition. First, step back in time to explore the Earth when dinosaurs roamed during the Cretaceous Period. Following is a re-creation of the asteroid impact that obliterated the dinosaurs in the area now known as the Yucatan Peninsula. Learn how that mass extinction paved the way for new species, which also set the stage for evolution and the emergence of humans. The exhibition includes life-size models, touchable items and videos.
