“T. rex: The Ultimate Predator” Exhibition Opening – Bullock Texas State History MuseumT. rex: The Ultimate Predator
Experience a jaw-dropping new look at the legend
Bullock Texas State History Museum
October 18, 2025 – March 8, 2026
T. rex: The Ultimate Predator reveals the amazing story of the most iconic dinosaur in the world through stunning life-sized models, fossils and casts, and engaging interactives.
Everyone knows Tyrannosaurus rex. But did you know that T. rex hatchlings were fluffy and gangly, more like turkeys than the massive killing machines they grew up to be? Or that T. rex evolved from a large group of dinosaurs that were, for the most part, small, and fast? Or that the mega-predator had the rare ability to pulverize and digest bones? Organized by the American Museum of Natural History, the exhibition will introduce you to the entire tyrannosaur family.
Startlingly vivid models and whoa!-inducing technology.
