GIANTS: African Dinosaurs

Towering dinosaur skeletons, touchable fossils, life-sized flesh models, and riveting documentaries bring the art and science of

Africa's dinosaurs to life. GIANTS: African Dinosaurs, created by Project Exploration, is the first public exhibition of its kind featuring

Africa's lost dinosaur world. GIANTS showcases the African finds of world-renowned paleontologist Dr. Paul Sereno and brings to life some of the most important dinosaur discoveries of the last decade.

GIANTS is NOT your ordinary dinosaur exhibit. Most dinosaurs are known from North America and Asia. But, GIANTS lets visitors take a glimpse at what the dinosaur world was like in Africa more than 100 million years ago—and what it takes to search for fossils in one of the harshest environments on Earth. Discover what is involved in uncovering and piecing fossils back together. Wonder at the magnificence of a 33-foot-high rearing herbivore, Jobaria, or the toothy six-foot-long skull of Carcharodontosaurus, Africa's answer to T. rex.

Through this interactive dinosaur experience, visitors will learn about fossil discovery and be amazed by the art and beauty of ancient bones.
