Newcastle Museum is inviting you to dive into the depths of their new exhibition where you’ll come face to face with the terrifying creatures that ruled the oceans during the time of the dinosaurs.
Sea Monsters: Prehistoric Ocean Predators is an immersive exhibition designed for visitors of all ages that features hands-on installations alongside real fossils from millions of years ago.
You’ll get up close and personal with gigantic life-sized replicas, including a 13-metre long Elasmosaurus and 9-metre Prognathdon.
The new exhibition, which recently opened its doors at the museum, also features a huge 1.4-metre Kronosaurus jaw and a five-metre long fish that died after swallowing another fish whole.
Yep…
“This is the largest exhibition ever hosted by Newcastle Museum, as well as being the first time Sea Monsters has been displayed in Australia outside a capital city,” Newcastle Museum Director Julie Baird said.
