GIANTS: African Dinosaurs, created by Project
Exploration, is the first public exhibition of its
kind featuring Africa's lost dinosaur world. This
exhibit, designed by world-renowned paleontologist Dr.
Paul Sereno and educator Gabrielle Lyon, highlights and
brings to life some of the most important dinosaur
discoveries of the last decade.
This is NOT your ordinary dinosaur exhibit. Most
dinosaurs are known from North America and Asia. Project
Exploration's GIANTS offers a glimpse of what the
dinosaur world was like in Africa more than 100 million
years ago - and what it takes to search for fossils in
one of the harshest environments on Earth. Discover what
is involved in uncovering and piecing fossils back
together. Wonder at the magnificence of a 33-foot-high
rearing herbivore, Jobaria, or the toothy six-foot-long
skull of Carcharodontosaurus, Africa's answer to T. rex.
Towering dinosaur skeletons, touchable fossils,
life-sized flesh models, and riveting documentaries
bring the art and science of Africa's dinosaurs to life.
The experience doesn't end with the exhibit: Gail Borden
Public Library invites visitors to make discoveries of
their own with programming for explorers of every age.
