Special Exhibition
Tūhura Otago Museum is the only South Island venue for Australia's Gondwana Studios spectacular travelling exhibition.
Huge animatronic dinosaurs that move and roar bring these primeval giants to life. Skeletons, skulls, gigantic artwork, and touchable fossil casts, transport you to another world.
Chinese dig sites have uncovered new information about how dinosaurs really looked: their skin, scales, quills, and armour. These discoveries inform this amazing exhibition where you will see how these prehistoric creatures looked and lived, and reveal how we can see their distant relatives in the skies around us today.
