About this exhibition
Step back in time and discover how fossils unlock prehistoric worlds. Across four immersive and interactive zones, uncover how scientists piece together what dinosaurs looked like and the ancient environments they once called home.
Dinosaurs Uncovered invites visitors to explore ancient ecosystems, take part in the art of excavation, see how scientists analyse and reconstruct fossil evidence, and encounter prehistoric creatures at true scale.
An original exhibition by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and AGB Creative, the exhibition brings research, authentic fossil material, scientific replicas and digital storytelling together in an interactive inquiry-led journey.
Bring your curiosity and be among the first in the world to experience Dinosaurs Uncovered at WA Museum Boola Bardip.
Uncover the past
Four zones take you from finding fossil clues to seeing how prehistoric worlds take shape.
Step into an immersive theatre and travel back 66 million years to the Late Cretaceous. Explore prehistoric life across land, sea and sky, and learn how fossils preserve evidence of the past.
Take part in a digital excavation that responds to your movements and unearth clues beneath the surface. Work as an individual, partner, or group to find, record and protect fossil evidence, and understand the important teams behind a fossil dig.
Follow fossils from the field to the laboratory and see how raw fossil material becomes scientific understanding. Explore touchable displays, casts and digital scanning to see how scientists prepare evidence and reconstruct prehistoric skeletons.
Encounter prehistoric animals brought to life at true scale, responding to your movements within immersive digital environments. Discover how fossil evidence helps scientists reconstruct their appearance, behaviour, and movement, revealing far more than bones alone can tell us.
