Bones and reconstructed skeletons of 14, more than 100-million-year old dinosaurs found in Argentina can be seen within a comprehensive exhibition titled “Giants of Patagonia” in the Hungarian Museum of Natural History.

The star of the exhibit is probably the Gigantosaurus which is the largest terrestrial carnivore with its 8 tonne weight and 14 m height. The 17 m high Rebbachisaurus, a plant-eater giant will equally impress visitors.

Other highlight of the display is the 70 cm long Megaraptor-claw.

Interactive elements, playful presentations, dino nests and eggs make the exhibition compelling for the youngest dinosaurus enthusiats.
