Close.

From Dinosaurs to Mammals is an exciting travelling suitcase exhibition that presents a dramatic time in the history of our planet. Dinosaurs ruled the Earth, but their days were numbered. A changing environment, an asteroid from outer space, and the dinosaurs were history. Mammals evolved quickly, replacing dinosaurs as the dominant land animals.
