🔍 Oplev forskning i aktion – live i udstillingen!
I morgen, tirsdag den 12. august, rykker forsker Gorm Raun (aka @palaeo_viking , ind midt i Evolutionsmuseets dinosaurusudstilling. Hele dagen kan du følge med, når han arbejder med spændende analyser af vores fossiler – lige for øjnene af dig.
🦖 Gorm forsker i, hvordan Tarbosaurus er beslægtet med andre arter i tyrannosaur-familien – og han har selv været på feltarbejde i både Alberta og Mongoliet.
Har du spørgsmål? Vil du se, hvordan forskning foregår i virkeligheden? Kig forbi, sig hej – og få et unikt indblik i arbejdet bag kulisserne.
📅 Tirsdag 12. august
🕒 Hele dagen
📍 Evolutionsmuseets dinosaurusudstilling
💡 Kun denne dag – gå ikke glip af det!
What did it really feel like to stand in front of Trinity?
Like locking eyes with a legend? Like your inner 7-year-old screaming? Like a Jurassic mic drop?
We want the juicy stuff:
👉 What totally blew your mind?
👉 What did your face do when you saw those teeth?
👉 Why should absolutely everyone meet Trinity IRL?
🦖 Drop your reaction in the comments – or post a Story using ONE emoji or just three words and tag us.
Whether you met Trinity at the Museum of Evolution, saw it elsewhere, or just dream of it — we want to hear from YOU.
We’re featuring the best, weirdest, funniest, and most dramatic reactions all week in “Humans meet Trinity.” 🎧
Let the fossil feelings flow.
🧬 Amber doesn’t just preserve insects. It preserves moments in time.
🦟 Can we bring back life from amber? In our collection, you’ll find perfectly fossilized bugs, 🌿 plant material—even 🪶 ancient feathers—trapped in resin for over 98 million years.
Some scientists hope these fossils could unlock traces of ancient DNA 🧫. Others wonder:
💡 Could resurrecting these long-lost creatures help us understand biodiversity today?
🪞 Or is amber best left as a beautiful window into a world we’ll never fully reclaim?
🔬 Come see the science for yourself—only at Knuthenborg Safaripark the Museum of Evolution.
🦖🐔 Happy #DinosaurDay! Today we’re asking one of science’s weirdest (and coolest) questions: What if dinosaurs came back… through a chicken?
It’s not just movie madness—scientists are seriously exploring how to unlock dormant dinosaur traits in birds to create a so-called “Chickenosaurus.”
Why chickens? 🐣 Because birds are living dinosaurs. Their DNA still carries ancient genetic instructions for things like:
🔁 Snout-like beaks
🦴 Clawed forelimbs
🪶 And even tails
At the Museum of Evolution, you can meet Archaeopteryx, the “first bird,” and see how evolution turned dinosaurs into the birds we know today. Some dino traits may be gone… but their legacy is alive and flapping.
🕰️🌍 Earth is spinning faster — and your summer days are (technically) getting shorter.
Yes, the sun’s still out late and you're still not sure what day it is… but this month, our planet clocked one of the shortest days of the year—spinning 1.34 milliseconds faster than usual. 💨 That’s fast. But not T. rex fast.
🦖 Did you know? When Trinity roamed the Earth 67 million years ago, days were just 23.5 hours long. That’s half an hour less of eating, sleeping, and chasing those pesky Triceratops.
📍 Step back in time at the Museum of Evolution—where we don’t just measure days in milliseconds. We measure them in millions of years.
💪🎬 Plates. Spikes. And a whole lot of drama.
In The Lost World, Stegosaurus made its entrance swinging. At the Museum of Evolution, ours doesn’t need action scenes—it’s already one of the most complete stegosaurs ever discovered.
Meet Hesperosaurus mjosi, our Stegosaurus:
🦴 80% original.
🛡 Covered in plates.
🪖 Armed with a tail that could ruin your day.
Hollywood gave it a roar. We’re giving you the fossil.
📍 Come see why it’s more Jurassic than the movies ever imagined.

🦎The dinosarus that isn’t—but Hollywood cast it anyway
🎬 You saw it in Jurassic World: Dominion.
But here's the twist: Dimetrodon isn’t a dinosaur. It’s older. We’re talking 50 million years older.
With its signature sail and predator status, Dimetrodon looks like a Jurassic star—but it actually lived during the Permian period, long before the first dinosaurs even hatched.
At the Museum of Evolution, you can meet the real fossil that shouldn’t be in the movies—but totally deserves the screen time.
📍 Come face to sail with one of evolution’s strangest success stories.
🦟🎬 In the movie, it was a mosquito that started it all.
At the Museum of Evolution, we’ve got the real thing—no screen magic required.
Inside our amber collection, life has been on pause for 100 million years.
Tiny insects, fragile plants, even feather fragments—all frozen in golden resin during the age of the dinosaurs.
🧬 No cloning. No chaos theory.
Just science catching up to the stories these specimens have held for millennia.
✨ This is time travel you can actually see.
📍Now on display at the Museum of Evolution.
🦕 🎬 Remember the first time you saw the long-necked dinosaur in Jurassic Park and your jaw dropped? Now imagine standing eye-to-skull with the real thing.
At the Museum of Evolution, our Camarasaurus doesn’t need CGI.
With its towering vertebrae, massive limbs, and a skull made for treetop feasting, this gentle Jurassic giant gives you the actual scale of deep time.
Come walk beneath it. Look up. Feel the awe.
Because this summer, Jurassic isn’t just a movie—it’s a museum.
🎬 Triceratops makes us stop and say, “She was my favorite as a kid.”
In Jurassic Park, the Triceratops stole hearts.
At the Museum of Evolution, our fossil skull lets you see what 3 horns and a shield-sized frill look like up close—and real.
Big. Beautiful. Built like a tank. Some icons need no introduction.
🍿 See the Movie. Then Meet the Monster.
T. rex is back in cinemas. But ours never left the Earth.
As Jurassic World: Rebirth hits the big screen, step into the museum where fiction ends—and fossil reality begins.
🦖 With 293 original bones, Trinity is an exceptional T. rex specimen to behold.
It's not roaring. It doesn’t chase jeeps.
But trust us—you won’t forget coming face-to-face with it.
🎟 Watch the movie.
📍 Then meet the original, only at the Museum of Evolution.
