Those rad life-size T. Rex and Triceratop puppets are back and ready to roar some more at the Natural History Museum.
The special program, which is returning to the Exposition Park museum after a hiatus, features intricately designed life-size dinosaur puppets. These carefully crafted artworks aren't hand puppets, to be clear, or even the sort of larger puppet you might wear like a sleeve.program have talented puppeteers operating them from the inside, which gives every step, slight motion, and subtle shift of a dinosaur's large head some truly astonishing realism.
We may never time travel back to the Triassic or Jurassic Periods, but we can find our way to the museum for these Dinosaur Encounters, which is again raising a roar, twice each day, every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you share your home with a devoted dinosaur-ologist, the sort of super-smart kid who knows the name and genus of every enormous reptile that formerly called our planet home, they'll likely want to know which dinos these remarkable puppets represent.
That would be T. Rex, because of course we want to see a Tyrannosaurus Rex in person , as well as the regal Triceratops, that horn-rocking herbivore sporting the famous frill.
