Dinosaurs on the Loose in Wales

Did you know that the very first dinosaur footprints made 220 million years ago were discovered in Wales in 1878?

As part of an unforgettable Year of Legends, you can become a dinosaur hunter by seeking out dinos on the loose across our national museums. Follow the giant footprints to see giant razor-sharp dinosaur claws on the roof at National Museum Cardiff, and then enjoy a hands-on interactive experience at the

Dinosaur Babies exhibition.

At

St Fagans National Museum of History look out for a scaly beast hiding in our cowsheds, a dinosaur eye peering out from one of the windows of Gwalia Stores and footprints in the field.

Find the claw emerging from the King Coal gallery path at

Big PIt National Coal Museum, and footprints on the slope on the way up to the Pithead Baths.

Find more tails, claws and beady eyes at the

National Slate Museum and take a peek at giant footprints in the courtyard.
