The Collection of The World's Best Dinosaur Museums

Jul. 11, 2019


   Since Jurassic Park has been successful, the Jurassic World was also reintroducing the man-meets-dinosaur disaster to a new generation of fans. This prehistoric monster is constantly coming into people's lives. Our scientists say it'll be a long time to build a real "Jurassic Park", so the animatronic dinosaur theme park is becoming more and more popular nowadays. Such a park is attractive enough to attract dinosaur fans, whether adults or children.

   Fortunately, there are already plenty of museums all around the world that can bring people face to face with dinosaurs safely. These dinosaur museums will take you back to a time when fantastic creatures ruled the planet. If you're intrigued by the prehistoric world, we’ve rounded up a few of the world’s best museums for a spot of dinosaur viewing on your travels, in no particular order.


1. Museum für Naturkunde (Berlin, Germany)

   Berlin's natural history museum houses a serious collection of bones excavated largely from Tanzania in the 20th century, featuring all sorts of species, which is one of three major museums in Germany. 

In the central atrium of the Museum, fossils of plants and animals from the late Jurassic are on display. Between 1909 and 1913, scientists of the Museum found approximately 230 tonnes of bones - the most successful dinosaur excavation of all time. To this day, much of the Museum’s research has been focusing on these finds.

   Most impressive is the 41-foot, 5-inch Brachiosaurus, the tallest dinosaur in the world on display. It's a Guinness World Record holder and dominates the first gallery.

The museum also has the most important Archaeopteryx fossil in the world, demonstrating the birdlike link between dinosaurs and birds.

   The Field Museum is a natural history museum in Chicago and is one of the largest such museums in the world. The museum's Evolving Planet exhibit, dedicated to the last 4 billion years of evolution, features dinosaurs from as far away as Madagascar and Antarctica.

   The main attraction stands at the entrance. Meet Sue, the largest Tyrannosaurus in the world, who greets visitors at Chicago's natural history museum. She's a terrific specimen -- the original skull, weighing 600 pounds and flashing 58 teeth, is on display in the museum's balcony level along with information of dinosaurs.

   And there's also a the long-necked, plant-eating titanosaur Patagotitan mayorum, dubbed Máximo on display, a 122-foot-long, the largest titanosaur dinosaur discovered to date.


3. Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Science (Brussels, Belgium)

   With the largest dinosaur hall in the world, this museum has an impressive collection of fossilized skeletons and casts. Its most important pieces are 30 fossilized Iguanodon skeletons, which were discovered in 1878 and it was the second dinosaur to be classified in the 1800s.

   Interactive displays in the gallery also detail the fossilization process and dinosaur digs, among other topics.


4. National Dinosaur Museum (Canberra, Australia)

   The National Dinosaur Museum, located in Gold Creek Village near Canberra has Australia’s largest display of prehistoric specimens. The museum's exhibition follows the evolution of life, with a particular focus on dinosaurs.

   Major upgrades have taken place in April and May 2012 with the addition of twelve animatronic dinosaurs as well as an extensive collection of life-size models displayed both within and outside the museum. Fossil digs, children's learning events and weekend tours help attract 200,000 people a year, making it one of the area's biggest tourist attractions.

And the "African Dinosaurs" exhibit features the Euparkeria, a distant relative of the dinosaurs, native to South Africa; as well as the Jobaria, a sauropod from Africa. You’ll also find collections of fossils, insects, stone tools made by people 120 000 years ago and traditional clothes.
