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 July 16, Matthijs Vegter will be in the Spotlight.
From fossilsto Triceratops exhibition
Together with a team of experts, Matthijs Vegter developed the Triceratops exhibition. While doing so, he considered the question: how do you turn a pile of fossil bones into an attractive and sustainable exhibition where people of all ages can learn something?

Triceratops on 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.
