Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs

At AMNH Exhibitions, the Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs surveys the “lizard-hipped” branch of dinosaur life, from early meat-eaters to later giants. Fossils and mounted skeletons trace how bodies changed over deep time, and how paleontologists build arguments from bone, rock, and context. As part of a New York City institution that has shaped public ideas about natural history for generations, the hall functions as both archive and classroom. The presentation favors clarity over spectacle, which suits the subject.
