Millions of years ago, earth's oceans were home to some of the largest, fiercest, and most successful predators ever. While dinosaurs ruled the land, giant reptiles and sharks hunted the depths.
What can their fossilised bones tell us about how they lived? How do they compare to today's top ocean predators? Discover the secrets of these monsters of the deep in this new exhibition that will delight all ages!
Produced by the Australian National Maritime Museum in partnership with the Queensland Museum Network, Sea Monsters combines real fossils and gigantic replicas, including a 13-metre-long Elasmosaurus and 9-metre Prognathdon.
Get up close and personal with hands-on interactive activities to make your own monster, dress-ups, dinosaur poo and much more.
This is the first time Sea Monsters will be displayed in Australia outside a capital city. The exhibition is part of Newcastle Museum's constantly changing temporary and travelling exhibition program.
SO MUCH MORE TO DISCOVER AT THE MUSEUM
During your visit, explore Supernova, the hands-on science centre, experience the BHP Sound and Light show, climb aboard the Tram, and discover an array of ordinary and extraordinary objects from the collection.
