Take a rare and exciting look at the life of dinosaurs through their eggs, nests and embryos in Dinosaur Eggs & Babies. The exhibition blends the arts and sciences with an astounding array of dinosaur eggs and nests collected from all over the globe, including those of each major plant and meat-eating dinosaur group. Although dinosaur eggs were first identified in the 1920s, their scientific significance was not fully appreciated until the end of the 20th century. Today, dinosaur eggs are recognized for their enormous scientific value and for offering fascinating details and fresh insights into the behavior, growth and evolution of dinosaurs. The exhibition presents new discoveries about dinosaur reproduction and behavior and introduces some of the fascinating people and science behind these discoveries. Its multi-media experience helps give credence to long debated theories that dinosaurs and birds are closely related.
A captivating experience for all ages, “Dinosaur Eggs and Babies” – realized by the Gondwana Studios – invites visitors to touch real dinosaur bones and reconstructed nests – one more than eight feet in diameter, dig for eggs, experience hands-on exploration stations and view animated video presentations featuring well known dinosaur experts. Each science-rich section is enhanced with exciting life-like models of embryos and hatchlings, colourful illustrations of dinosaur family life and stunning photographs of some of the world’s most renowned dinosaur hunters and their discoveries.
