Europe welcomes its first Patagotitan mayorum, a dinosaur of truly staggering proportions.
In short: Professor Paul Barrett and exhibition lead Sinaéd Marron offer an exclusive look at the Natural History Museum's latest exhibit. This display marks the European debut of the Patagotitan mayorum, a colossal creature that dwarfs both the museum's famous Diplodocus and its resident blue whale skeleton.
The exhibition showcases the immense scale of the Patagotitan mayorum, a dinosaur significantly larger than previous museum highlights. It is described as being four times heavier than the museum's Dippy the Diplodocus and 12 metres longer than the blue whale skeleton known as Hope.
This interactive display provides a rare opportunity to examine the creature up close. It is part of the Natural History Museum's broader mission to share its collection of over 80 million objects, which range from dinosaur bones to meteorites and giant squid, with the public.
