Dinosaur Museum, Paleontology museum in Peirópolis, Uberaba, Brazil.

The Dinosaur Museum occupies the former Peirópolis railway station building in the rural district of Peirópolis, Uberaba. At the entrance stands a replica of a herbivorous dinosaur made by sculptor Northon de Azevedo Fenerich. Inside, an exhibition room holds replicas, illustrations and fossils, alongside a research laboratory; in 2014 six new replicas were added outside, including one of Uberabasuchus terrificus.

Fossils found in the Peirópolis area in the 1940s were excavated by paleontologist Llewellyn Ivor Price, and until the late 1980s they were sent to the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro. In 1992 local residents led by Beethoven Luiz Teixeira founded the Llewellyn Ivor Price Paleontological Research Centre and the museum, installed in the old Peirópolis railway station building. In 2010 the structure was integrated into the Peirópolis Cultural and Scientific Complex.

The museum displays fossils found locally and teaches visitors about ancient life in the region. This focus helps people understand the natural history that surrounds their own community.

The visit works best on quieter weekdays when you can explore the exhibits at your own pace without crowds. Guided tours are available to help you understand the fossils and how they were discovered.

The entrance display is a herbivorous dinosaur replica made by sculptor Northon de Azevedo Fenerich, and in 2014 six more replicas were placed outside the building, among them Uberabasuchus terrificus, a crocodile relative named after Uberaba. The fossils themselves date from 65 to 72 million years ago.
