Discover dinosaurs at Otago Museum

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to imagine a time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth!

Discover dinosaurs through their eggs, nests and embryos at Otago Museum’s new summer exhibition, Dinosaur Eggs and Babies.

This internationally created, hands-on exhibition features an astounding array of authentic casts of dinosaur eggs and nests collected from all over the globe.

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 recognised for their enormous scientific value and for offering fascinating details and fresh insights into the behaviour, growth and evolution of dinosaurs. 

Dinosaur Eggs and Babies is a captivating experience for all ages. It invites visitors to touch real dinosaur bones and reconstructed nests, dig for eggs and experience hands-on exploration stations. Each science-rich section is enhanced with exciting life-like models of embryos and hatchlings, and colourful illustrations of dinosaur family life. The Dino Den within the exhibition will be an added bonus for families, with dinosaur costumes to wear, fossil finding fun, and the Dino Show running throughout the day.

Dinosaur Eggs & Babies is a travelling exhibition produced by StoneCompany.com in association with Gondwana Studios.
