Triceratops: The Herd
Naturalis, Leiden
October 18, 2024 until August 31, 2025
Inspired by the discovery of five Triceratops Horridus in Wyoming, USA, in 2013, this exhibition brings the fascinating world of these prehistoric giants to life.
A unique paleontological find
In 2013, a team of experts from Naturalis found hundreds of fossilized bones and fragments of Triceratops Horridus at a single location in Wyoming. This discovery included five individual triceratops, suggesting that they were part of a herd – a find that is considered unprecedented worldwide. The exhibition ‘The Herd of Triceratops’ offers visitors an unparalleled insight into the life of this iconic dinosaur species.
Exclusive, specially designed items
The exhibition includes a unique collection of products specially designed for the occasion. Each item has been carefully developed to give visitors a tangible memory of the impressive exhibition.
