Chinasaurs is a gala exhibition of the largest collection of authentic Chinese dinosaurs ever toured. Chinasaurs features more than 20 skeletons, up to 67 feet long and fossil dinosaur nests and eggs. The exhibition was created and built by the Royal Museum of British Columbia with original mural paintings by Chinese artist Yu Shan. Interactives include activity carts with touch fossils, stamping and coloring stations and an 8 foot by 8 foot dig pit. Elaborate signage completes the spectacle, Chinasaurs attracted more than 400,000 visitors at its debut venue—a museum record in British Columbia! Animatronics may be added to this exhibition as well based on space and availability.
China provides the richest array of dinosaurs across dinosaur time, yet its dinosaurs are little known in North America. Chinasaurs offers these rare finds in an exciting, awe-inspiring presentation of an ever-popular theme: Dinosaurs!
