Sea Monsters Unearthed

September 19 to January 3, 2027

New! From the Smithsonian Institution, Sea Monsters Unearthed explores the period when Africa and South America split apart and “sea monsters” like Mosasaurs and Plesiosaurs lurked in the newly formed waters of the South Atlantic Ocean. The exhibition showcases an international collaboration among scientists and reveals what fossils can tell us about our past and our possible future.
