EXTRA, the marketplace for scientific touring exhibitions.
In this unique, new exhibition, dinosaurs are the medium for educating and exciting multi-generational families on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics) concepts. Dinosaurs in Motion educates the visitor by using 14 magnificent, fully interactive, recycled metal dinosaur sculptures with exposed mechanics inspired by actual fossils. The exhibition theme captivates the visitor by drawing them into the powerful “brand” of dinosaurs, while creating a unique opportunity to teach and interact with the basic principles of STEAM. A truly interactive, engaging and fun STEAM exhibition for all ages!
The visitor is taken on an apprentice’s journey to learn about art, science and innovation that ends in a journeyman’s workshop. The narrative is reinforced with experiential learning, as every piece is interactive for visitors to touch and learn. Not only are the dinosaurs within the exhibition fascinating and marketable, but also the educational materials are extremely topical and digestible.
The moving, human element to the exhibition lies in the story of the artist, John Payne, who truly is the heart of Dinosaurs in Motion. Through video and interactives, visitors will walk away with Payne's inspiring message: "If you can dream it, you can do it." The exhibition is one that inspires guests to learn, discover and create as they have done throughout the exhibition.
