Come Face to Face with Some of the Most Terrifying Ever Predators at Natural History Museum

Opening on 22 May at London’s Natural History Museum, Jurassic Oceans: Monsters of the Deep invites visitors to explore the underwater world of 200 million years ago through some of the most formidable marine reptiles ever to have lived. Timed for the half-term holidays, the exhibition combines major specimens from the Museum’s paleontology collection with interactive experiences that bring prehistoric ocean life vividly into view. Visitors will encounter creatures, including mosasaurs and plesiosaurs, alongside hands-on elements that make the science accessible for children and families. The exhibition also connects these ancient predators to wider questions about adaptation, extinction, and biodiversity, showing how top predators help sustain healthy ecosystems. Through film, touchable fossils and casts, and current scientific research, it offers an engaging introduction to the prehistoric oceans and the scientific discoveries they continue to inspire. Jurassic Oceans: Monsters of the Deep is supported by the Blavatnik Family Foundation. Read the article here.
