Dino mania
Eight highly prized dinosaur fossil skeletons are grabbing the audience's attention at the Hong Kong Science Museum. Vasavi Seethepalli reports.
All fossil skeletons, except for that of the Tyrannosaurus, are on display in Hong Kong for the first time.
Arranged over two floors, the tightly structured exhibition features a Dino Lab for kids, offering a range of interactive activities including assembling model dinosaur skeletons. A "time tunnel" treats visitors to an immersive video experience as they pass through it. And Hong Kong Public Libraries has helped put together a corner for browsing dinosaur-themed e-books. Other attractions include an educational film on planetary conservation, a treasure hunt and the opportunity to enjoy some downtime under an overhead video projection that seeks to recreate a starry night sky from a time when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. Also worth checking out are the dino yoga sessions, where one gets to practice yogic postures while learning about dinosaur behavior.
