"Dinosaur Expo 2026" is now on at the National Museum of Nature and Science. It shows dinosaur fossils and reconstruction models based on the latest research. The exhibition runs until September 27.
Highlights include full skeletons of large carnivorous dinosaurs. Panels explain what recent excavations have revealed about how dinosaurs lived and evolved, and finely made reconstruction models are also on display. A hands-on area for children lets visitors touch fossil replicas and watch videos that recreate dinosaur calls and movements, so families can enjoy the exhibition together.
The exhibition overlaps with the summer holidays, so crowds are expected, especially on weekends. Timed-entry tickets and advance online booking are recommended. To avoid the crowds, visit on a weekday morning.
