GIANTS exhibition

More than 20 of our images illustrated an exhibition called GIANTS at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels, which opened on 20 October 2023, and will travel around Europe for about 5-6 more years to come.

GIANTS is a family-friendly exhibition of epic proportions from the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences.

GIANTS is not the typical dinosaur exhibit. It transcends the Mesozoic era to explore the fascinating creatures that inhabited our planet from the Paleogene to the Quaternary period. The prehistoric giants, frequently eclipsed by their dinosaur counterparts, are now stepping into the spotlight.

The exhibition boasts an impressive lineup of eleven remarkable creatures, brought to life through six life-sized 3D models and five nearly complete skeletons. But GIANTS is more than a display of prehistoric bones. It's an immersive experience designed to transport visitors into the world of paleontology.

The towering Mammoth figure above you, the writhing giant snake Titanoboa, the frightening shadow of the most famous ancient shark of Megalodon - all this is illustrated by our photorealistic reconstructions. Video content and print promotional products have also been created based on our images.

Visitors are invited to don the hat of a paleontologist, engaging in interactive and hands-on activities to conduct their own research. From uncovering fossils to deciphering clues about these ancient giants, exhibition visitors will gain a newfound appreciation for the science behind the spectacle.

Immersive projections further enhance the experience, offering glimpses into the natural habitats of these giants and the challenges they faced during their reign. But as awe-inspiring as these creatures may be, GIANTS also serves as a poignant reminder of nature's fragility.
