The biggest dinosaurs exhibition in South East Asia, Dinosaurs: Dawn Of Extinction, opens its doors from today till 24 July 2014 at Art Science Museum, Marina Bay Sands. Transport back in time to the Precambrian, Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous prehistoric periods where dinosaurs roamed the earth while enriching yourself on the evolution of these extinct species with the ancient fossils unearthed from around the globe.
This never-before-seen exhibition is set to trigger everyone’s interest in these “ancient rulers” of Earth with numerous live sized fossil exhibits as well as several interactive workshops and guided tours that will engage you to understand the history of dinosaurs from as far as 600 million years ago.
A series of engaging workshops and performances:
- ‘Shadow Puppets Alive!’ – visitors can try their hands at creating their own Bullockornis or Megalania shadow puppet to bring home.
- ‘A day in the life of a Paleontologistt’ – during this hands-on demonstration, visitors will have numerous opportunities to participate, including handling tools and specimens, cleaning fossils, identifying bones and making a plaster cast from a dinosaur’s footprint.
- ‘Stop Motion Dinosaur Wipe-out!’ – Film and dinosaur enthusiasts can create their own stop motion animation based on one of the main theories of mass dinosaur extinction: asteroid impact, climate change or volcanic eruptions.
- ‘Dinosaur Tale”- Presented by local puppet theatre company, Paper Monkey Theatre, visitors will be taken on a journey of how animal life adapted over 600 million years, presented through magical puppetry.
- ‘Sketch-a-fossil’- A drawing workshop conducted by Isabelle Desjeux, a scientist turned artist, who brings fossils to life by having visitors draw them in detail and placing the art piece in a pre-historic landscape.
- ‘Sculpture Fun’ – Visitors can try their hands at carving their own sculpted fossil, be it a shell or bone, out of soap to bring home.
