Leading up to the opening of the Triceratops exhibition this fall, Naturalis is hosting a special Spotlight every Tuesday this summer where you can ask all your questions of our dino experts. On Aug. 27, Natasja den Ouden will be in the spotlight.
How do you preserve a dinofor eternity?
Natasja den Ouden manages Naturalis' fossil collection, so she knows better than anyone how to ensure that fossils are preserved in such a way that we can admire and study them for a long time to come. In this Spotlight, she will talk about her expertise and you can ask her all your questions.

Triceratopson tour
This summer you could've admired our five triceratopses separately in five cities across the Netherlands.
The nature museums and libraries of Maastricht, Tilburg, Delft, Haarlem and Leeuwarden had a prehistoric guest this summer. In collaboration with these partners, we ensured that young and old, from north to south, came face to face with a Triceratops. From October 17, the herd can be seen together in the new exhibition at Naturalis in Leiden.
