DESCRIPTION:T. REX 3D\nFor more than 100 years dinosaurs have inspired and thrilled audiences\, commanding blockbuster status in museums and at the box office. But among them towers a king. With leaps in CGI and revolutions in tyrannosaur paleontology over the past 25 years\, the time has come to revisit T. rex. \nExplore the interplay between speculation and evidence through famous specimens\, landmark discoveries and wild cinematic depictions over the last century. Discover how the process of science refreshes and re-imagines our understanding of this legendary dinosaur. \nFilmmakers worked with top tyrannosaur scientists\, a coalition of natural history institutions and pioneering paleo and visual effects artists to create one of the most dazzling and accurate T. rex documentaries ever made. \nBUY TICKETS\nT.
