Dinosaur enthusiasts in Singapore have much to look forward to this year. Beginning October 11, 2025, the Science Centre Singapore will launch its biggest-ever exhibition, Dinosaurs | Extinctions | Us. Spanning more than 3,000 square metres, the showcase promises an awe-inspiring journey through prehistoric times with 33 rare fossils and 60 full-scale dinosaur models on display.
This extraordinary exhibition is set to be a major highlight for families, students, and dinosaur lovers of all ages.
A Collaboration with Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum
The event is a collaborative effort between Science Centre Singapore and the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum (LKCNHM) at the National University of Singapore. Together, the institutions aim to combine science, history, and education into an engaging, interactive experience.
The showcase will be presented through two large-scale exhibitions, spread across three immersive zones that will transport visitors back in time to Earth’s most fascinating eras.
Dinosaurs of Patagonia: Encounter Giants of the Past
One of the centerpiece experiences is Dinosaurs of Patagonia, which features a breathtaking full-scale cast of the Patagotitan mayorum. Considered one of the largest dinosaurs to ever walk the Earth, this colossal species measured over 30 metres in length.
In addition to the Patagotitan, visitors can explore detailed models and fossil reconstructions of other ancient giants that roamed the South American continent millions of years ago. The exhibition offers an unparalleled opportunity to appreciate the scale, diversity, and majesty of these prehistoric creatures.
Six Extinctions: Exploring Earth’s Catastrophic Events
The second major highlight, Six Extinctions, will take visitors on a dramatic journey through the planet’s most devastating extinction events. Featuring more than 30 unique displays, this zone showcases how natural disasters, environmental changes, and other global events have reshaped life on Earth.
Among the standout exhibits is Scotty, the largest Tyrannosaurus rex ever discovered. The display captures the sheer size and power of this apex predator, offering a rare glimpse into one of the most iconic species in history.
This section also aims to highlight the fragility of ecosystems, drawing parallels between past extinctions and current environmental challenges.
Extinctions Close to Home: A Singapore Perspective
To make the showcase even more relevant to local audiences, the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum has curated a selection of specimens that focus on species once found in Singapore but now extinct locally.
These include the cream-coloured giant squirrel and the rufous-collared kingfisher, both of which disappeared from the island due to habitat loss and human activity. By featuring these examples, the exhibition reminds visitors that extinction is not just a distant historical concept but a reality that can occur within living memory.
Educational and Interactive Features
Beyond the fossils and models, Dinosaurs | Extinctions | Us will also include interactive displays designed to engage visitors of all ages. Through hands-on activities, digital installations, and immersive storytelling, the exhibition aims to inspire curiosity and encourage reflection on humanity’s relationship with the natural world.
For students and educators, the exhibition will serve as a valuable resource, providing insights into paleontology, ecology, and conservation.
