Leading up to the opening of the Triceratops exhibit in the 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
Deze zomer kun je onze vijf triceratopsen los van elkaar bewonderen in vijf steden verspreid over Nederland.
De natuurmusea en bibliotheken van Maastricht, Tilburg, Delft, Haarlem en Leeuwarden bereiden zich voor op de komst van deze prehistorische gast. In samenwerking met deze partners zorgen we ervoor dat jong en oud, van noord tot zuid, oog in oog kan staan met een Triceratops.
Vanaf 17 oktober is de kudde samen te zien in de nieuwe tentoonstelling van Naturalis in Leiden.
