The Dinosaur Museum


The only museum in Britain dedicated to dinosaurs, the award-winning Dorchester Dinosaur Museum is a treat, especially for children. The museum combines life-sized models of dinosaurs with actual fossils to create an enjoyable hands-on educationalk experience. Audio visual and computer displays tell the story of the giant lizards and what the earth was like millions of years ago.

One fascinating exhibit explores the question of what would life be like today if the dinosaurs had not become extinct. Based on the educated guesses of scientists, models of two very peculiar creatures are shown, including a tree-dwelling dinosaur that is a cross between a monkey and a hornbill, and Dinosaurid, a half-human, half-dinosaur being.

The Dinosaur Museum is a former winner of the Dorset Family Attraction of the Year award.
