About

Step into a world of wonder at Hollytrees Museum with Discover: Museum Wonders — an unmissable exhibition headlined by a real dinosaur skeleton. Meet Juliasaurus, a breathtaking prehistoric giant stretching over six metres long and making its first‑ever public appearance. Having travelled from North America and never been displayed anywhere in the world before, this spectacular fossil may even be a species new to science. Packed with fascinating fossils and intriguing historic treasures, this exhibition offers a rare chance to come face‑to‑face with a true giant of the past.

Please note timed tickets are in operation and is closed Sundays.
