Unearth the Palaeoverse: Dig Into the Dawn of Time

Saturday 23 May - Monday 31 August 2026 | Available during opening hours Show all dates and times Millions of years ago, the world was filled with giant sea reptiles, roaming dinosaurs and ancient forests.

This summer, enter that lost world at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum.

Pass through a cave entrance into the Palaeoverse, where your adventure begins.

Draw a dinosaur and watch it animate across the wall, and strike the perfect prehistoric pose in the dressing up zone.

Along the way, uncover clues, take on interactive challenges and build your own collection of discoveries, before taking time to sit back and enjoy a cinematic journey through an ancient forest landscape.

And while you're here, don't miss Dippy in Coventry, the nation's favourite dinosaur, on display at the Herbert.
