Victoria the T. rex Roars Into Australia

Meet Victoria the T. rex but she's not just any old Tyrannosaurus rex, she's one of the largest and most complete T. rex fossils on the planet. And guess what? It's the first real T. rex to ever stomp its way into Australia—66 million years in the making!

Victoria the T. rex Roars Into Melbourne Museum

Mark your calendars for 28 June 2024, because that's when Victoria the T. rex roars into Melbourne Museum. This isn't just any dinosaur exhibition; it's a world-class, interactive journey that'll whisk you away to the Cretaceous period. With cutting-edge tech and the latest palaeontological insights, you're in for a deep dive into the life and times of Victoria.

Discovered in South Dakota in 2013, Victoria the T. rex is a true survivor of the ancient world, boasting a skeleton of 199 bones, stretching over 12 metres long and standing tall at 3.6 metres. After a stint in the Dino Lab in Victoria, British Columbia (where she got her name!), she's all set to stun Australia with her well-preserved, 66-million-year-old bones.
 

Prepare to be transported through multisensory installations and immersive digital scenes that bring the prehistoric world to life. And the adventure doesn't stop there—dino enthusiasts can explore further with Horridus the Triceratops. Dive into the most complete Triceratops exhibition globally at the Melbourne Museum. It's an epic, interactive voyage through time, packed with animations, digital projections, and soundscapes that illuminate the Cretaceous like never before!
