For venues

An exhibition for every kind of venue

Glowing Dinosaurs is a touring exhibition of dinosaur art and natural history, offered to museums, science centres, galleries, festivals and cities, each at its own scale.

Natural history, art and city museums

Museums

A temporary exhibition that joins art and natural history: dinosaurs drawn as glowing bodies of bone and muscle, each with its name, its age and sourced facts. From forty-five works in a room to a walk through deep time in a hall.

Science told through pictures

Science centres

Deep time, size and evidence made visible. Every dinosaur is shown with its six signs and facts checked against their sources. A family exhibition that holds children and adults alike.

Contemporary art galleries and art fairs

Galleries

A wall or a room of signed and numbered works, printed on wood or acrylic under glass: unique works and limited editions of ten and twenty-five. Hung in a morning, sold from the wall.

Festivals, parks and cities

Festivals and cities

Eight fluorescent animatronic dinosaurs glowing under ultraviolet light in the dark, or dinosaurs as large as buildings across a town, lit after dark.

Bring the age of dinosaurs to your visitors

A touring exhibition at four scales: one wall, a room of 100 to 200 m², a hall of 400 to 900 m², or buildings across a whole city, with eight glowing animatronic dinosaurs that move. Designed, built and hung by the artist’s team, who have toured exhibitions seen by more than 12 million visitors.

What a venue receives

Every Glowing Dinosaurs exhibition is shaped to the space and the audience it is made for. A gallery may want a single wall of signed works; a natural history museum may want a room that pairs the glowing plates with the science behind them; a science centre may want a family exhibition built around deep time, size and evidence; a festival or a city may want animatronic dinosaurs glowing in the dark, or giant dinosaurs on the walls of its buildings. We start from what the venue already has, its rooms, its visitors and its season, and propose the scale that fits.

The works themselves are the plates from the book, printed at 60 or 100 centimetres on wood or acrylic under glass, each with its number, its name and its sourced facts. Larger formats are possible for halls and outdoor spaces. The six signs that appear on every spread of the book can be shown beside each work, so visitors of every age can compare one dinosaur with another at a glance.

How the exhibition is made

The exhibition is designed, produced and hung by the artist’s own team, who have toured exhibitions seen by more than 12 million visitors. That experience covers the practical side of a temporary exhibition: planning the route through the space, the lighting that makes the glowing works come alive, the texts and labels, and the installation itself. The eight fluorescent animatronic dinosaurs travel with their own ultraviolet lighting, so they glow wherever the room can be made dark.

Audiences and education

Glowing Dinosaurs is made for families first. The facts are short enough to read aloud, the pictures large enough to look at together, and the questions they raise, how big, how old, how dangerous, are the ones children ask. For schools, the exhibition offers a clear way into geological time, fossils and the scientific method: every fact on the wall comes from a published source, and where scientists disagree, the labels say so.

Next steps

To discuss an exhibition, write to us with the name of your venue, the space you have in mind, your preferred dates and the audience you expect. We will reply with a proposal suited to your venue, its format and its scale, together with the presentation of the book and the exhibition.
