CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Kevin C. Madigan Recommends: New scientific discoveries reveal the early tyrannosaur was anything but a colossal scary creature. Australian scientists believe they initially were small animals with feathers and long arms, not exactly what evolution made of them. This exposition spotlights their family tree and chronicles differences in reptiles such as the Dilong and the Guanlong, showing their timeline and traits during specific eras and presenting their progression via an array of activities. A tunnel projection shows what a Godzilla-like stomp through Atlanta would look like; an augmented reality component allows visitors to virtually hatch a dinosaur egg; related fossils and a life-size scale of a T. rex skeleton are being displayed too. “The discovery of these important differences between eras has resulted in a radical change toward our ideas regarding how and why these feared creatures evolved,” says Fernbank manager Miranda Shealy. “The geologic record is vast and provides fascinating new discoveries that shed light on the lives of some of our favorite prehistoric creatures, including dinosaurs. (The exhibit) highlights some of the newest paleontological findings about the many fearsome tyrannosaurs that roamed our planet during the Cretaceous period.” — KCM

From the venue:

Tyrannosaurs: Meet the Family explores the diverse species and life span of the famed family tree of Tyrannosaurs, including T. rex and its dinosaur relatives. With over 30 objects—including real fossils and skeletons, this summer exhibit provides scientific evidence that has revised the way we view the Tyrannosaur family.

Guests will have access to a variety of immersive, engaging experiences. Tyrannosaurs: Meet the Family is highly recommended for anyone looking to sink their teeth into paleontology.

This is an exhibition developed by the Australian Museum and toured internationally by Flying Fish
