GIANTS of the Ancient Seas: exhibit 2017

A trip through time into the world of gigantic reptiles of oceans past: From September 2019 to December 2020, the LOKSCHUPPEN EXHIBITION CENTRE in Rosenheim will be the first location to show the family exhibition "Giants of the Ancient Seas".

Marine reptiles are without doubt among the most fascinating and mysterious creatures of the Mesozoic. The exhibition stages their prehistoric underwater world on 1500 m² with around 200 high quality original fossils, skeletons, casts and imposing 1:1 models of ancient marine reptiles. The originals are provided, among others, by the Senckenberg Naturmuseum Frankfurt and other renowned museums in Europe.

Habitat reproductions with up to 12 meter long models show three-dimensional moments from a land before our time. Europe's largest digital and first real-time "Paleo-Aquarium" creates a lasting, palpable spatial experience on over 50 m² of projection area. Both the 3D animated "main characters" and the 1:1 models of the ancient marine reptiles were developed specifically for the exhibition project by palaeontologists on the basis of the latest scientific knowledge.

20 media stations and hands-on exhibits invite visitors to participate, and convey scientific knowledge and trivia about the life of ancient marine reptiles and the history of the earth.

The family adventure exhibition is a highlight – not only for young and old saurian fans.
