THE DINOSAURS ARE BACK!

EXHIBITION FOR HIRE

FeathersThe dinosaurs never really died out. They live on and we see and hear them every day. After all, birds are directly descended from some of the most ferocious and predatory dinosaurs, with recent research confirming the close links between dinosaurs and birds. This point is clearly illustrated when visitors see the feathered dinosaurs in the exhibition.

EnvironmentThe dinosaurs are set in a prehistoric forest landscape surrounded by plants that are typical of the Mesozoic era, the time of the dinosaurs. Giant conifers, gingko and tree ferns together form complete ground vegetation in an evocative setting. This gives the visitors a total experience and increases their understanding of how the dinosaurs lived.

Information, guided tours and school programmeThe exhibition for hire includes text and image material for exhibition signs and digital information solutions.

Background information and instructions for guided tours are included, along with material for a schools programme. The material has been prepared in consultation with experts at the Göteborg Natural History Museum and the University of Gothenburg.

The dinosaurs in the exhibition for hireThe dinosaurs in the exhibition have been carefully selected to show a diverse range of species and highlight scientifically interesting points.

Sinosauropteryx (x2). The first genus of dinosaur discovered outside of Avialae(birds) that is known to have been feathered.

Tyrannosaurus rex (x2). As well as being famous, it is of great scientific interest. Researchers are speculating as to whether the adult lost the coat of feathers it had when young or whether it retained all or part of it throughout its life.

Microraptor (x2). A small, bird-like dinosaur with four wings. It was one of the “missing links” between the classic dinosaurs and the birds.

Parasaurolophus (x2). A spectacular dinosaur with a large sound-amplifying crest on its head.

Deinonychus (x3). An intelligent, feathered predator with a large claw on its hind feet. Probably hunted in packs.

Therizinosaurus (x1). A gigantic and fascinating evolutionary creation. A feathered herbivore with claws up to a metre long on its front limbs.

Styracosaurus (x3). Perhaps the most eye-catching crested dinosaur, with its bony neck frill and many horns.

Spinosaurus (x1). A powerful and incredibly huge, dragon-like dinosaur. An extremely interesting creature with an appearance that is bound to get people talking.

THE DINOSAURS ARE BACK!In partnership with Emilio’s Creations, Universeum proudly presents the unique dinosaur exhibition “The dinosaurs are back”. The latest scientific discoveries are summarised in a spectacular visitor experience with 16 life-size dinosaurs that move and make noises. Ten of them are feathered in accordance with recent research.

The exhibition for hire comprises eight different species set in a prehistoric forest landscape with trees and plants from that specific era. Included is the world’s largest known land predator, the Spinosaurus, at 14 metres long and five metres tall. Also on display are the four-metre tall and fully feathered Therizinosaurus and the legendary Tyrannosaurus rex, together with a feathered juvenile.
