Feel
like exploring this weekend? Take a trip to the North Carolina Museum of
Natural Sciences’ World’s Largest
Dinosaurs exhibit in downtown Raleigh. The exhibit will be on display until
April 12, 2015.
The World’s Largest Dinosaurs focuses on what
factors allowed for these massive dinosaurs to exist for over 140 million
years. Spread around the museum are a variety of hands-on, interactive
workstations where visitors can explore even further into the prehistoric world.
In addition a life-sized Mamenchisaurus model serves as the center piece for
the exhibit.
Exhibit
curator and chairman of the American Museum of Natural History’s Division of
Paleontology Mark Norell said in a press release, “This exhibition represents a
new era of dinosaur research that leverages recent advances in technology and
the expertise of multiple scientific disciplines to understand how the largest
animals to ever roam the earth actually lived,” adding, “It demonstrates how
our understanding of these enormous creatures continually evolves and changes
in response to new science.”
