Join us for the public opening of “Dinosaurs in Motion” at Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in The Gallery by General Motors.
Experience prehistoric animals like you’ve never seen before and move or engage with 16 life-size metal dinosaurs. Delight your family by making a T. rex’s jaw open and chomp by using levers and pulleys, make a Plesiosaur swim using a touch screen controller. Go beyond the limits of natural history, and meet these metal dinosaurs inspired by real fossils and built using recycled materials. This limited-engagement exhibition is designed to be highly interactive.
Discover the art and science on display in “Dinosaurs in Motion,” including sketching, metalworking, biomechanics, kinetics and the robotics that breathe life into these sculptures.
