Patagonia has provided the best record of dinosaurs in the southern hemisphere. Here, paleontologists have revealed fascinating stories from the past.

Dinosaurs of Patagonia is not just another dinosaur exhibition. It's a deep dive into the paleontological work that goes into reading the secrets hidden in stone.

Earth's history is written in the rocks beneath our feet, and paleontologists spend much of their lives learning to read these stories of the planet's natural past. The intense days in paleontological digs are full of challenges, emotions and discoveries. But when the sun goes down, the team gathers around the campfire to have a comforting meal, chat or review notes and photos taken that day. Sometimes they even celebrate a great discovery with excitement.

Dinosaurs of Patagonia is a tour of the work of paleontologists that reveals how science works and how paleontologists reconstruct the past, while presenting us with replicas of the skeletons of the most important dinosaurs found in this territory and its original fossils. The star of the exhibition is a replica of a specimen of Patagotitan mayorum, thirty meters long—a titan of Patagonia that will not leave anyone indifferent.
