๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บMelbourne Museum's Triceratops Exhibit โ€“ A journey back in time to the age of the dinosaurs

Melbourne Museum's "Triceratops" Exhibit โ€“ A Time Trip to the Age of Dinosaurs Melbourne Museum is one of the largest natural history museums in the Southern Hemisphere, and the "Triceratops" exhibit is a highlight. On display is one of the world's few nearly complete Triceratops fossils, remarkably well-preserved. The large horns and frills illuminated under the light are truly impressive. Exhibit Highlights โ€ข Complete Skeleton: Over 90% of the skeleton is an actual fossil, making it a rare treasure. โ€ข Immersive Lighting: Red and orange lights accentuate the texture of the fossil, immersing you in its time. โ€ข Interactive Commentary: Learn about Triceratops' ecology and evolutionary history through screens and AR. Viewing Experience As a dinosaur lover, this exhibit was truly a dream come true. The moment I stepped into the exhibit, I was captivated by the sight of the massive skeleton emerging from the darkness. The shadows on the skeleton change depending on the angle of the light, making it a fascinating experience to discover something new no matter how many times you visit. While the explanatory panels are mostly in English, the extensive visual content makes it enjoyable for both children and adults. Visitor Advice โ€ข Time: Approximately 30 minutes to an hour. We recommend taking your time to appreciate the exhibit. โ€ข Photo Spots: Panoramic shots from the front and close-ups of the horns are particularly appealing. โ€ข Access: Take the tram to Melbourne Museum Station. Basic Information โ€ข Address: 11 Nicholson St, Carlton, VIC โ€ข Opening Hours: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Open daily, closed only at Christmas) โ€ข Admission Fee: 15 AUD for adults, free for children (as of August 2025) #VacationTrip #DomesticTravelTricks #MyTravelPlans #SummerVacationTrip #SeasonalOverseasPlaces #OverseasTravelTricks #OverseasTravel #AbsolutelyFreeTravel #CommentCircle
