The Denver Museum of Nature & Science opened its newest exhibition, “The World’s Largest Dinosaurs,” Friday. The exhibition, which runs through September, explores the biology and anatomy of sauropods, the largest land animals to ever walk the Earth.

“The World’s Largest Dinosaurs invites visitors to explore one of the most fascinating questions in paleontology — how any animals could grow and survive at such an extraordinary size,” said Patrick O’Connor, director of Earth & Space Sciences at the museum.

The exhibition takes visitors inside the bodies of sauropods, a long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur that grew up to 150 feet long and weighed an average of 12 tons. Through life-sized bones, organs, and interactive displays, guests will discover how heart rate, respiration, digestion and metabolism are all linked to size.

“By pairing scientific discovery with interactive experiences — like seeing a sauropod’s beating heart projected onto a 60-foot model or assembling giant skeletons through magnetic puzzles — this exhibition makes the extraordinary biology of these ancient giants both captivating and genuinely accessible to visitors of all ages,” O’Connor said.

At the center of the exhibition, visitors will come face-to-face with a 60-foot-long model of Mamenchisaurus, famous for its remarkable 30-foot-long neck.

Other highlights include the head of an Argentinosaurus, one of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered, a display of hatchlings, a 40-foot section of a sauropod tail along with two shoulder blade bones and a look at ongoing research into this group of dinosaurs by museum scientists.

“The World’s Largest Dinosaurs” is open to museum members and general admission ticketholders; an additional exhibition ticket is required.

The exhibition is organized by the American Museum of Natural History, New York.
