This exhibition at the National Museum of Nature and Science focuses on palaeontology, the scientific study and analysis of extinct plant and animal fossils. One of the world’s most renowned palaeontologists is Roy Chapman Andrews, whose dinosaur specimens he discovered in the Gobi Desert between 1922 and 1930 are on display at this showcase.
You’ll also learn about the evolution of large mammals during the ice age and get to see a model of the Tibetan woolly rhinoceros, an extinct species native to the western Himalayas. Other highlights include models of the largest terrestrial mammal in history, the Paraceratherium, and the largest terrestrial carnivorous mammal, the Andrewsarchus.
Note that you'll have to book tickets in advance. The exhibition takes place daily from 9am to 5pm (last entry 4.30pm), until 6pm (last entry 5.30pm) between August 5 and 14.
