N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences


Downtown Raleigh

is pleased to announce the opening of its newest special exhibit


Dinosaurs in Motion


May 18 – September 8 


Opening this Saturday!

Join us for the world premiere of Dinosaurs in Motion, where visitors engage with – and learn from – 14 magnificent life-sized metal dinosaur sculptures inspired by actual fossils. 
Visitors can manipulate each dinosaur via lever-and-pulley systems or remote controls in a brand new exhibit that fuses art with traditional STEM subjects (Science, Technology,
 Engineering and Mathematics) for STEAM. Visitors are also taken along an apprentice’s path that ends at Innovation Stations, where they can test their creativity and newfound technological inspiration with hands-on activities that include creating their own
 sculptures out of recycled material scraps.
