National Gwangju Science Museum, Dinosaur Hill Renovated

An exhibition that restores the characteristics and environment of dinosaurs will be held at the National Gwangju Science Museum.

On the 6th, the Gwangju Science Museum announced that it has newly arranged three types of moving dinosaurs that appear lifelike and enhanced the diorama presentation of the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era to offer a more vivid exhibition.

The newly added dinosaurs include 'Koreanosaurus boseongensis,' the first dinosaur to be named after a Korean location and discovered in Boseong, Jeollanam-do; 'Koreaceratops hwaseongensis,' a primitive ceratopsian found in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do; and 'Protoceratops,' which has been discovered in various regions of Asia such as Mongolia and China. These have been reborn as working models through expert verification.

Additionally, the diorama presentation vividly reflects the terrestrial environment in which dinosaurs lived. The exhibition also features the Dinosaur Encyclopedia, which received high praise from many visitors at last year's "Dino World" special exhibition, further increasing audience engagement and participation.

Jang Hyojeong, a researcher at the National Gwangju Science Museum, said, "This year, we plan to continuously introduce new attractions that have never been seen at the National Gwangju Science Museum through preparations for a special exhibition on biodiversity and extinction crisis, which is scheduled to open in the second half of the year, and the establishment of a natural history hall."

The Dinosaur Hill, located on the first floor of the main building of the science museum, is the first exhibit to greet visitors. It is one of the most popular attractions, serving as a photo zone for family visitors, including children.
