March 10 - July 30, 2006
9 a.m. to 9 p.m.


The understanding of dinosaur biology has evolved considerably during the past two decades.  Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries explains this evolution and highlights the cutting-edge research and technology used by scientists and paleontologists.  This spectacular exhibition takes an in-depth look at how these developments have helped scientists better understand these creatures’ behavioral and physical characteristics, and provides more insight into the puzzling mystery of their extinction. 


Dinosaurs is organized by the American Museum of Natural History (http://www.american-mnh.org) in collaboration with the Houston Museum of Natural Science; the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco; The Field Museum, Chicago and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, Raleigh.

Dinosaurs is sponsored locally by the generous support of the Lillie and Roy Cullen Endowment, the Hamill Foundation, The Kroger Co., Westside / Northside Lexus and Examiner Newpaper Group.
