Where do these creatures come from? What were they like as living animals? What happened to them? How do scientist know what they know?
To reveal how scientists puzzle out answers to these questions — and to show that we all have the tools of observation — the exhibtion invites visitors to use all their senses and observation skills.They can look at and touch specimens. They can "excavate" on interactive touchscreen stations. they can watch films to see what it's really like in the field.
The exciting, all new Dinosaur Hall, opening July 16, will feature the world's only T. rex growth series. This series will offer an unrivaled look at the ways Tyrannosaurus rex grew. On display will be the young adult, 30-foot Thomas the T. rex, a 20-foot juvenile, and a 10-foot baby.
The all-new, 14,000-square-foot Dinosaur Hall is twice the size of the Museum’s old dinosaur galleries. It will rival the world’s leading dinosaur halls for the number of individual fossils displayed, the size and spectacular character of the major mounts, including the world’s only Tyrannosaurus rex growth series, and the way that paleontology comes alive! In these spacious, light-filled galleries, visitors will encounter science not as static information but as a vibrant, ongoing investigation into mysteries — some resolved and some still being explored.

The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
