NHM brings the world of dinosaurs to life during the festival providing an inside look at the work of paleontologists, and how artists and filmmakers use science to create pop culture beasts.

The festival includes talks, performances, tours, hands-on activities and special museum specimens rarely on display. “Dino Fest” aims to engage guests through scientific discovery and contemporary interpretations. Paleontologists and the museum’s partner organizations will share their dinosaur expertise at booths.
