Dino-fanatics & kids, hold onto your archaeology hats, we have some colossal news for you… The Earth’s largest-ever creature is coming to the Natural History Museum in London this month! The Titanosaur Exhibition is based around the biggest dinosaur in the whole of history… And we thought Hope, the large blue whale skeleton, was massive!
Find out everything you need to know about this exciting London exhibition down below…
Why Should I Visit The Titanosaur Exhibition?
Think about how it would feel to stand underneath the biggest creature in the whole of Earth’s history. You’ll get opportunities to measure yourself against its huge thigh bone in this amazing interactive exhibit. And yes, dinosaur poo is on the menu too…
The Cretaceous period is an incredibly fascinating moment in history long before human life and having dinosaur skeletons laid before us is an incredibly unique and wonderful gift to us all. We should all be grateful that we have the opportunity in this country to go and see something as amazing as the Titansoaur Exhibition. So make sure you seize this wonderful opportunity and hey, explore other beloved dinosaurs like Dippy too!
With many interactive elements, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the chance to experience the life of Titanosaur, it’s a bucket list event that you should check out ASAP.
What Is The Titanosaur Exhibition?
The majestic and ethereal exhibit will include beautiful illustrations of Cretaceous plants and animals. Kids will get to follow along in the Titanosaur’s enormous footsteps, uncovering what life was like for this gigantic dinosaur.
You’ll see a football-sized egg plucked from its nest and watch the events of its life unfold… or should we say crack wide open! Watch it spawn from an egg to a fully grown adult. Witness how such a creature responds to an encounter with a ferocious predator that took a bite out of its tail…
If you can’t get your head around just how big the Titanosaur is, it may be helpful to compare to the Natural History Museums’ current collection of giant creatures. The giant Titanosaur is four times heavier than Dippy the Diplodocus and 12 metres longer than Hope… Yeah, it’s pretty big!
And now for the poo-smelling… Yep you’ll even get an idea of what dinosaur poo smells like! But before that, you’ll weave your way around the gallery, handle specimens, explore interactive displays and learn how a creature of this colossal size could have survived, and thrived, on Earth.
You’ll discover how Patagotitan stayed safe, found food and grew to tower head and shoulders above its fellow Cretaceous critters. Aside from the quirky poo activity, there’s the chance for a great photo opportunity as you measure yourself against this incredible specimen’s thigh bone and stare into its gigantic sauropod skull.
