Dinosaurs on the Doorstep free exhibition in Worcester

Dinosaurs on the Doorstep will open at the Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum, in Worcester, on July 13 and run until September 18, 2024.

The exhibition brings the Jurassic world to life by allowing visitors to see and touch dinosaur fossils and original fossils from 150 million years ago.

A display, for the first time in the West Midlands, will feature impressive dinosaur skeletons from over 100 British species.

In addition to experiencing history up close, visitors will also get involved in hands-on activities, such as a dinosaur discovery camp and a dino-scientist station.

The event promises real fossil bones and the chance to encounter beasts from harmless herbivores to terrifying tyrannosaurs in a fun and engaging manner.

Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum curator, Claire Cheshire, spoke enthusiastically about the event.

She said: "Visitors of all ages will be surprised at the number of British dinosaurs that have been found, and how impressive their skeletons and fossils are.

"We're really excited to show this new exhibition and get people interested in the world around us and beneath our feet.

"The exhibition is a must-see for dinosaur fans of all ages."

Families are invited to participate in a variety of engaging activities, including a chance to meet Magnus, the museum's resident dinosaur.

Furthermore, throughout the summer, a full schedule of dinosaur-themed events and activities will keep visitors entertained.

The museum shop offers an assortment of dinosaur-themed gifts and souvenirs, and Little Al’s Kitchen at the Balcony Café serves as a perfect pit-stop for hungry explorers.

Dinosaurs on the Doorstep is a free exhibition and is open to the public from Tuesday to Saturday between 10am and 4pm, and on Sundays from 10am until 3pm.
