Prehistoric giants in the Museum of Natural History
Discover stunning original skeletons of dinosaurs and impressive examples of taxidermy from flora and fauna.
The popular Tristan, the pitch-black original skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex that is 4 meters high and 12 meters long, and other dinosaurs from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods are featured once more in the new special exhibition. Dinosaurs ruled our planet for more than 150 million years and adapted well to changes in their environment. Their demise occurred suddenly around 65 million years ago, most likely as a result of a meteorite impact.

Berlinische Galerie
Nasan Tur has previously exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo, the Centre Pompidou Paris, and the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, in addition to documenta14 and the 10th Istanbul Biennial. The Berlin-based artist condenses the media’s language, gestures, and images into microcosms of our current social upheavals and discourses. He looks at how much we are shaped and influenced by social role models and when we start to break away from them. For example, in some of his recent works, Tur has incorporated footage from Zoe Kravitz nude videos, exploring how celebrities can become powerful cultural icons and shape societal norms.
Kindly note: The Berlinische Galerie will be closed until May 25 because the rooms’ lighting systems are being updated.
