One of the most extraordinary discoveries in the history of palaeontology. David Attenborough
The world’s biggest dinosaur is coming to Sydney!
Coined by David Attenborough as 'one of the most extraordinary discoveries in the history of palaeontology', Dinosaurs of Patagonia at the Australian Museum is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the largest dinosaur ever discovered.
The collection of fossils unearthed in Patagonia reveals a lost world from more than 100 million years ago. At the heart is the most significant discovery - the Patagotitan mayorum, which stretches an astonishing 38 metres in length.
Journey through millions of years of evolution and explore the story of the dinosaurs of Patagonia and the palaeontologists who uncovered them. Learn how these creatures lived, adapted and dominated in their prehistoric world.
Awe-inspiring in both scale and scientific significance, this is an exhibition that brings the distant past vividly to life.
