The blockbuster exhibition from Patagonia, Argentina — home of Patagotitan mayorum, the biggest animal ever to walk the Earth. Five sold-out seasons across four countries, now preparing for its next destination at one of the world's outstanding natural history museums.
For the first time ever, a striking exhibition arrives from Patagonia, Argentina, presenting the latest discoveries from the Southern Hemisphere together in one place. Dinosaurs of Patagonia tells a fantastic story of evolutionary change in the herbivorous and carnivorous lineages that dominated the terrestrial ecosystems of our planet for over 230 million years.

“The Patagotitan is one of the most extraordinary finds in the history of palaeontology.”Sir David Attenborough
Developed by the Museo Paleontológico Egidio Feruglio (MEF) in Trelew, Argentina, the exhibition brings together full-scale scientific casts, real fossils and new finds spanning the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods — the best fossil record of dinosaurs in the Southern Hemisphere.
Measuring 38 metres long — close to three buses put end to end — and weighing 70 tonnes, Patagotitan holds the record as the biggest animal ever to walk the Earth. Sir David Attenborough followed the remarkable story of its discovery in his documentary Attenborough and the Giant Dinosaur.
Visitors explore the exhibition through the eyes of palaeontologists: travelling through the deserts of Patagonia with a team of scientists, revealing the mysteries of nature, and understanding their place as human beings in the complex balance of our natural history.
From one of the smallest herbivores known to science to the largest land animal in Earth's history — every cast is a precise scientific replica produced by MEF using 3D scanning, offering unparalleled detail and scale.
The largest known land animal in history, discovered in 2014 in Chubut Province when a ranch worker's dog sniffed out a thigh bone protruding from the ground. One of the most complete giant skeletons ever recovered.
One of the most ferocious predators of the Cretaceous. Its razor-sharp teeth were found near Patagotitan fossil remains — evidence, scientists believe, of a monstrous attack on the giant herbivore.
At the other end of the scale: one of the smallest herbivorous dinosaurs known to date. Alongside Herrerasaurus — one of the world's earliest dinosaurs — it completes a journey through the full sweep of dinosaur evolution.
From its world premiere in Perth to its record-scale showcase in Singapore, Dinosaurs of Patagonia has drawn crowds, headlines and standing-room-only final days at every venue on the tour.
“…mesmerised by these giants of Patagonia.”
The exhibition made its world premiere in Perth as the flagship of the museum's international program, anchoring a milestone year of record community attendance at Boola Bardip.
“Roarsome blockbuster exhibition.”
“A brilliant and fascinating exhibition for both children and adults alike.”
A nearly seven-month season that closed with hundreds of visitors crowding in for a final glimpse of Patagotitan on its last day.
“The sheer scale of these animals is mind-blowing.”
“It's not often we get exhibitions of this calibre.”
“A must-do experience for every age-group.”
Te Papa's previous dinosaur blockbusters rank among its most popular ticketed exhibitions of all time — and its CEO promised visitors exactly the wow factor this show delivers.
“An epic dinosaur exhibition… in a way you've never experienced before.”
The most ambitious staging yet: Dinosaurs of Patagonia joined forces with Six Extinctions across 3,000 m² — more than 90 artefacts, 33 rare fossils and 60 full-scale models, with visitors holding their breath beneath the 40-metre Patagotitan cast displayed in the open.
Every season launched with national broadcast coverage, campaign films and a wave of visitor content. A selection from the tour:
Channel Seven News coverage of the Queensland Museum blockbuster — one of several national TV segments across the season.
The "Perth Takeover" — life-size dinosaurs boarded Transperth buses and marched through the city to launch the world premiere at WA Museum Boola Bardip.
Inside the season at Te Papa Tongarewa, the only New Zealand venue — presented as Ngā Taniwha o Rūpapa with te reo Māori integration.
Dinosaurs | Extinctions | Us at Science Centre Singapore with LKCNHM — the largest staging of the tour, across 3,000 m².
Broadcast and campaign clips are shown for reference and remain the property of their respective networks and venues.
Dinosaurs of Patagonia is a turnkey touring exhibition with a five-season international track record. It has anchored blockbuster programs at state museums, a national museum and a leading regional science centre — and it scales from classic gallery formats to 3,000 m² co-branded showcases.
Developed by Museo Paleontológico Egidio Feruglio (MEF), Argentina. Touring is managed from Perth, Australia, with full logistics, installation and curatorial support at every venue.
Venues receive marketing-ready assets, a media track record across four markets, and a title with instant name recognition — endorsed by Sir David Attenborough's documentary audience of millions.
