On a recent trip to London I made the spontaneous decision to head out to see the Titanosaur exhibition at the NHM as I had a couple of hours to kill after checking into my hotel. The exhibit had been on my general to do list in London since it was first announced but I hadn’t been sure I’d be able to make it until I realised that the museum closed later than I thought it did, at 5.50pm, so I would be able to fit it in afterall.
The titanosaur really is an impressive sight and somehow more impressive with the purple lighting. I ended up getting to the museum around 4pm and there was hardly anyone else there in the exhibition rooms. This did mean that I had the chance to play about with the interactive displays – although understandably geared for children they were quite informative and gave a good basic idea of how titanosaurs survived from conception to their great size (spoiler: more died than survived).
It is a little pricy at £16 for an adult but the chance to get this close to such a large dinosaur is a rare one and a must see for any dinosaur fan. The exhibition is on until 14 January 2024 so still a bit of time to get your dino fix.
