Striking 9-metre dinosaurs take centre stage at new Blenheim Palace exhibition

News from our houses

Blenheim Palace has teamed up with pioneering British artist and television presenter Jay Jay Burridge for the premiere of his latest exhibition, Dinosaurs Are Forever, one of the most unique events to ever feature at Britain’s Greatest Palace.

 

Dinosaurs Are Forever opened last week at the UNESCO World Heritage Site and will run until 1st November 2026.

 

The outdoor experience, located in the grounds of the visitor attraction in Oxfordshire, the birthplace of dinosaurs, will feature five incredible 9 metres long reimagined Megalosaurus skeletons. Visitors can discover the magnificent life-size sculptures along the pathway, which follows on from the Lower Water Terraces, with views of the South Lawn, at Blenheim Palace.

 

The immersive art exhibition combines palaeontology, engineering, creativity, and cutting-edge technology set against the backdrop of the historic Blenheim Palace. These sculptures that reimagine dinosaurs are not traditional museum reconstructions but built from advanced modern materials and designed through a contemporary lens to celebrate the dinosaur that transformed scientific understanding of prehistoric life.

 

Dinosaurs Are Forever offers visitors a rare opportunity to encounter the world’s first named dinosaur reimagined for the 21st century.

 

Admission to the exhibition will be free with any valid Blenheim Palace ticket or Annual Pass.
