Dinosaur exhibition

Dinosaurium: Reimagined Creatures Exhibition (Coming Soon)

28 March – 28 June 2026

Every dinosaur ever seen, on film, TV, in books or exhibitions, has, at least in part, been a work of the imagination. Since the first dinosaurs were identified, there has been a desire to put flesh on the bones and a glint in the eye of these amazing animals.

This exhibition looks at the long history of our relationship with dinosaurs, from ancient legends of mythical winged beasts in the deserts of central Asia, to the creatures brought to life in Jurassic Park.

Visitors can also learn about the animals that lived alongside the dinosaurs and are still here today, and discover the passion and dedication of the fossil hunters in this fun, family-friendly exhibition.

 

 

Triangle Garden

Triangle Garden: Connecting, Growing and Enjoying Nature for 25 Years

3 March – 12 April 2026
For a quarter of a century, the Triangle Garden has been bringing people together through the simple joy of gardening, creativity and connection with nature. This exhibition celebrates the vibrant community that has grown around the garden, featuring photographs taken almost entirely by the gardeners themselves.

This exhibition is in The Arches, part of the upstairs Terrace Gallery.
