Giants at National Museum of Scotland

Giants showcases the colossal prehistoric creatures that lived after the extinction of the dinosaurs, 66 million years ago.

Discover life-sized 3D sculptures, skeletons, and fossils in this immersive, family friendly exhibition.

Encounter Otodus megalodon, the largest shark to have ever swum the oceans, and Titanoboa, the biggest ever snake. What advantages did their immense size offer? Why did they eventually face extinction? How were they discovered?

Visitors to Giants will immerse themselves in the world of a palaeontologist. Use interactives to learn how fossils have been discovered, and find out how prehistoric giants have been reconstructed.

Tickets from £13
