ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Walking with Dinosaurs exhibition comes to the Courtyard at Harewood House from February to June 2004.

Television audience ratings soared to over 17 million when the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ transmitted this fascinating natural history series into our homes.

Now, visitors to Harewood will be able to view at close range many of the dinosaurs featured in the series, as well as discovering the science and technology behind the programmes.

Informative and educational
The idea behind Walking with Dinosaurs was to bring these amazing creatures back to life, along with the world they lived in. With the intention of being fun, as well as informative and educational, both the television series and the exhibition have proved to be a source of fascination for people of all ages.

T Rex

Having already attracted over half a million visitors across the UK, this touring Walking with Dinosaurs exhibition contains some spectacular casts, including a six metre long Plateosaur skeleton, a T Rex scull, a huge Triceratops skull, and real fossils that are over a 100 million years old.

Also on display will be the original models which were laser scanned and then digitally animated to help bring the dinosaurs back to life for the TV. The animatronic specimens used for close-up shots will also be on view.

Prehistoric wonders
Full-sized dinosaur replicas have been especially created for the exhibition so visitors can see these prehistoric wonders 'in the flesh' after seeing them on screen only as digitally created images.

With the help of blue screen projection you can also encounter a scary situation and see yourself in the dinosaur's landscape - complete with a T Rex!

The exhibition also shows a programme, narrated by Stephen Fry, showing in a light-hearted manner how the television series was made.
