TroodonThere are many things to touch and do at the Museum, such as the 'feely' box where you can find out what a T rex dinosaur really felt like - if you dare! The Colour Box allows you to experiment with various colour combinations to see what colour a dinosaur might have been - no one really knows as colour doesn't fossilise. Computerised displays allow you to compare yourself to a dinosaur, and investigate the many types of dinosaur that existed. The Dinosaur Museum has twice been voted one of Britain's top ten hands on museums by a national newspaper and a magazine.


The Dinosaur Museum is excellent fun for all ages. There are free funsheets for all children to help them make the most of their visit.


dinosauroidEvolution is a strange concept. What would have happened had the dinosaurs not become extinct? The Dinosaur Museum has two possible and very different answers, proposed by experts in Britain, as to what dinosaurs would have looked like today had they continued to evolve. Dinosauroid, the brainchild of Dale Russel and made famous by the television program Blue Peter, - is an upright rather alien looking creature. It has to be seen to be believed!


Three dimensional displays and exhibits are complemented by a wealth of informative graphical and pictorial material. Displays are stratified vertically with simple facts low down and more in-depth information higher up. The Dinosaur Museum is regularly featured on television appearing in documentaries, children's and entertainment programmes. A couple of years after its inception the Dinosaur Museum was nominated for the European Museum of the Year award in 1986.


Mary Anning GalleryThe Mary Anning Room of Time celebrates the life of Mary Anning. She lived in Lyme Regis in early part of the 19th century and became famous for collecting spectacular fossils from what is now part of the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. Her best discoveries included the first complete Ichthyosaur in 1811, a near complete Pliosaur and a complete Pterosaur.
