EXHIBITION FOR HIRE
THE DINOSAURS
ARE BACK!
THE DINOSAURS ARE BACK!
In partnership with Emilio’s Creations, Universeum proudly presents the unique dinosaur exhibition “The dinosaurs are
back”. The latest scientific discoveries are summarised in a spectacular visitor experience with 16 life-size dinosaurs that
move and make noises. Ten of them are feathered in accordance with recent research.
The exhibition for hire comprises eight different species set in a prehistoric forest landscape with trees and plants from
that specific era. Included is the world’s largest known land predator, the Spinosaurus, at 14 metres long and five metres
tall. Also on display are the four-metre tall and fully feathered Therizinosaurus and the legendary Tyrannosaurus rex,
together with a feathered juvenile.
Feathers
The dinosaurs never really died out. They live
on and we see and hear them every day. After
all, birds are directly descended from some of
the most ferocious and predatory dinosaurs,
with recent research confirming the close
links between dinosaurs and birds. This
point is clearly illustrated when visitors see the
feathered dinosaurs in the exhibition.
Environment
The dinosaurs are set in a prehistoric forest landscape
surrounded by plants that are typical of the Mesozoic era,
the time of the dinosaurs. Giant conifers, gingko and
tree ferns together form complete ground vegetation
in an evocative setting. This gives the visitors a total
experience and increases their understanding of how the
dinosaurs lived.
Information, guided tours
and school programme
The exhibition for hire includes text and image material
for exhibition signs and digital information solutions.
Background information and instructions for guided
tours are included, along with material for a schools
programme. The material has been prepared in
consultation with experts at the Göteborg Natural History
Museum and the University of Gothenburg.
The dinosaurs in the exhibition for hire
The dinosaurs in the exhibition have been carefully
selected to show a diverse range of species and
highlight scientifically interesting points.
Sinosauropteryx (x2). The first genus of dinosaur discovered
outside of Avialae(birds) that is known to have been
feathered.
Tyrannosaurus rex (x2). As well as being famous, it is of great
scientific interest. Researchers are speculating as to whether
the adult lost the coat of feathers it had when young or
whether it retained all or part of it throughout its life.
Microraptor (x2). A small, bird-like dinosaur with four wings.
It was one of the “missing links” between the classic
dinosaurs and the birds.
Parasaurolophus (x2). A spectacular dinosaur with a large
sound-amplifying crest on its head.
Deinonychus (x3). An intelligent, feathered predator with a
large claw on its hind feet. Probably hunted in packs.
Therizinosaurus (x1). A gigantic and fascinating evolutionary
creation. A feathered herbivore with claws up to a metre long
on its front limbs.
Styracosaurus (x3). Perhaps the most eye-catching crested
dinosaur, with its bony neck frill and many horns.
Spinosaurus (x1). A powerful and incredibly huge, dragonlike dinosaur. An extremely interesting creature with an
appearance that is bound to get people talking.
