It wasn’t your average delivery when three, 7 tonne trucks arrived at Life Science Centre today carrying several life-sized dinosaurs! Passers by stopped to take a second-look as the crates were opened and the bubble-wrap pulled back to reveal the pre-historic predators including Tarbosaurus, the fearsome cousin of T. rex. The delivery was part of Life’s latest exhibition, Age of the Dinosaur, which will open to the public on Saturday 25 May.

Visitors to Life will get to meet a menagerie of creatures this May Bank Holiday weekend (4-6 May) when furry, scaly and feathery friends will be on show.

More than ten thousand science and technology fans flocked to the Centre for Life at the weekend to take part in Maker Faire UK, a celebration of ‘making’, of creation, science and art.
