Dinosaurs making their way to Bishop Museum


Advertiser Staff

Dinosaurs Unearthed, a dynamic traveling exhibit, is coming to Bishop Museum Sept. 26.

It will be on display through Jan. 4, 2010. The exhibit is being sponsored in part by Bank of Hawai‘i, Horizon Lines, 7-Eleven, and The Honolulu Advertiser.
The exhibit will not just fill Castle Memorial Building, but spill out of the building because two of the moving, roaring creatures are so big they will be outdoors.
Other highlights include a feathered juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex, reflecting recent theories that some dinosaurs were indeed feathered; a baby Triceratops; and a duck-billed Parasaurolophus. The dinosaur exhibit also includes interpretive content, interactive activities, and multimedia components.
Dinosaurs Unearthed was most recently shown at the Cincinnati Museum Center, the Oklahoma City Zoo, and the Chicago Brookfield Zoo. The exhibit is produced by the Vancouver-based company also called Dinosaurs Unearthed.
The current traveling exhibit at Bishop Museum, Backyard Monsters: The World of Insects, ends on Labor Day.
