When my idea to show such realistic skeletons and “living” dinosaurs that visitors could feel curiosity and fascination with these extinguished giants’ era on our planet started to take shape the project became much more complex than when I was a child. New innovative solutions in combination with giant exhibition halls were needed to succeed and Tingby with its enormous economy building and beautiful park became a perfect base for the exhibition “A World of Dinosaurs”. Container after container with dinosaurs arrived and a giant puzzle of approximately 7 000 skeleton parts and tons of steel were mounted together to be able to show all our skeletons. Living movable dinosaurs were developed with new manufacturing methods to achieve the realistic behaviour that our dinosaurs have and they are among the largest and most advanced of its kind in the world. Since 2013 many more dinosaurs have arrived and we are constantly growing. We once again wish you all warmly welcome to discover more on your own and experience the era when dinosaurs ruled our planet and no one had heard about humans Roland Wiberg Verkställande Direktör

THE WORLD’S LARGEST DINOSAUR? Here I’m hugging the the gigantic hand and lower arm of Mamenchisaurus that is believed to have been 40m long, 15m high and weiging 80 - 100 ton. The fossil found in China, together with Argentinosaurus and Titanosaurus, is regarded as one of the 3 largest in the world. Try to imagine a walking dinosaur with the weight of 2 buses at each foot.

ALIVE AGAIN AFTER 65 MILLION YEARS

We need to travel more than 65 million years back in time to find more dinosaurs gathered at one place in Europe than at “A World of Dinosaurs”. Experience the excitement of our magnificent skeletons and come close to our “living” dinosaurs in natural size that breathe, move and roar in a way that you’ve never experienced before. Each dinosaur carries a unique story told in place and you will learn to interpret dinosaur fossils: teeth, bones, skulls, and the story they tell. During your visit among our 100 dinosaurs you will have an unforgettable experience where you will develop more interests to nature, to ancient animals and to the mystery of our planet. Our exhibition about dinosaurs’ fascinating time on earth is for all ages and represents dinosaurs from all over the world.
