Touring exhibitions

Exciting and scientifically authentic moving dinosaurs and giant insects from The Natural History Museum are available throughout the year for temporary exhibitions in museums, science centres, zoos and international conference halls.

Since 1990 our state-of-the-art temporary exhibitions of robotic dinosaurs and insects have been shown in 16 different countries in Europe and the Middle East. Visitors of all ages are impressed by the size and realistic movements of the dinosaurs and insects in the Mega-bugs exhibition - some of which are 160 times larger than life. These exhibits, both educational and entertaining, require 450-600 square metres of space (smaller exhibitions can also be provided) in an indoor environment. They can stand alone or be expanded on by the addition of scientific collections and educational activities.

Museum scientists are involved with the development of these dinosaur and insect reproductions. And our engineers install and operate these creatures, bringing them to life through the use of computers and compressed air.
