The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is set to open its latest exhibition, "The World's Largest Dinosaurs," on 20 March 2026. This temporary exhibition, running until 7 September, delves into the biology and anatomy of sauropods, the largest land animals to have ever roamed the Earth. Dr Patrick O'Connor, director of Earth & Space Sciences at the museum, highlighted the exhibition's aim to explore how these colossal creatures could grow and survive at such extraordinary sizes.
Visitors will be treated to a range of interactive experiences, including a 60-foot model of a Mamenchisaurus with animated projections of its internal organs. The exhibition, located in the Phipps Gallery on the museum's third floor, offers a family-friendly exploration into the lives of these long-necked, plant-eating giants. Guests can engage with interactive stations to learn about sauropods' eating, breathing, and circulatory systems.
Highlights include a dramatic introduction featuring the massive head of Argentinosaurus, one of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered, and a showcase of the museum's own collection, including its first-ever dinosaur bone. The exhibition also features ongoing research by museum scientists and collaborators worldwide.
Organised by the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the exhibition is accessible to both museum members and general admission ticketholders, though an additional exhibition ticket is required. The Denver Museum of Nature & Science continues to be a leading resource for science education in the Rocky Mountain region
