NOTE: The dinosaur exhibition has expired, but can be visited DIGITALLY
Among the giant dinosaurs, the sauropods or long-necked dinosaurs were the largest animals that ever populated the Earth's continents. With their almost unchanged physique, they dominated their habitat
for many millions of years.
How did the evolution of gigantism among dinosaurs come about?
What were the conditions for the extreme increase in size and how did the organisms of the largest land animals that ever lived on earth function?
The exhibition uses unique original fossils and impressive skeletal mounts to present the current state of research on these questions
and decodes the biology of these long-extinct animals. At the same time, it describes the almost detective-like methods used by scientists to answer questions from a time long past and explains the theory of the origin of gigantism.
