Dinosaurs “Unearth” At Bishop Museum Tomorrow

Honolulu, HI – Get ready to be surprised and maybe a little scared at the newest traveling exhibit at Bishop Museum.  Dinosaurs Unearthed opens tomorrow morning at the Castle Memorial Building. 

“This is one of the most exciting Dinosaur exhibits around today and we are happy to bring it Bishop Museum,” said Timothy Johns, President  & CEO.

A 27-foot Tyrannosaurus Rex welcomes visitors to the exhibit before even stepping into the building!  Once inside, various dinosaur species seem to observe the onlooker before being seen themselves.  Highlights include a feathered juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex, reflecting recent theories that some dinosaurs were indeed feathered; a baby Triceratops; and a duck-billed Parasaurolophus.  The exhibit also includes compelling and engaging interactive activities and multimedia components. 

Admission into Bishop Museum which includes access to all five of its exhibit halls and daily activities are:  $15.95 for adults, $8.95 for kama‘āina and military; $12.95 for youth ages 4 to 12 and seniors (65+), $7.95 for kama‘āina and military; children ages 3 and under are free.

Traveling exhibits at Bishop Museum are made possible through the help of sponsors.  Dinosaurs Unearthed is sponsored in part by Bank of Hawai‘i, Horizon Lines, 7-Eleven, and The Honolulu Advertiser.

Dinosaurs Unearthed at Bishop Museum will run from tomorrow, September 26, 2009 to January 4, 2010.  Bishop Museum members get an exclusive preview tonight.
