Step into Como’s Fern Room and prepare for a journey back 75 million years! Stroll through a prehistoric soundscape filled with calls from dinosaurs and creatures that once roamed ancient forests. Listen for sounds created by an instrument, custom built by UMN paleontologists, that mimic the haunting calls of the hadrosaur Parasaurolophus! See if you can spot some of Cretaceous critters hiding among the ferns!

Meet & Greet with Paleontologists from the University of Minnesota’s Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences, the developers of this exhibit, in Como’s Exhibit Gallery on November 19th, 23rd, 24th 11am – 4pm!

This program was funded in part or in whole with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008 which dedicated funding to preserve Minnesota’s art and cultural heritage.
