Dinosauria

Dinosauria is a museum in Espéraza that displays mounted skeletons and life-size models of prehistoric reptiles throughout its spaces. The exhibits are organized thematically, allowing visitors to compare different species and understand their physical features.

The museum was founded in 1992 when paleontological interest was growing in this French region. The project grew out of local excavations and collections that revealed the area's importance in prehistoric discoveries.

The exhibits help visitors understand how dinosaurs lived together in their ecosystems and adapted to different environments. The displays connect these ancient creatures to the region's own geological story, making prehistoric life feel local and real.

The museum is located in southern France and is easy to reach by local roads. Plan enough time to walk through all the exhibition areas, especially if you want to examine the details of the skeletons and models closely.

The museum holds the most complete dinosaur skeleton ever discovered in France. This specimen comes from local fossil sites and shows why this corner of southern France matters for paleontology.
