Prehistoric Fight Night

It’s the ultimate museum question that’s been on the mind of every dinosaur and Ice Age mammal fanatic, from kids to grown-ups, as they gaze upon the lifesize fossils of two ancient titans: Who would win in a fight?! We all have our ideas, but who would the experts put their money on? Join Rextooth Studios’ Ted Rechlin, award-winning graphic-novelist, animator, film-maker and science communicator, as he goes head to head with experts from NHM and La Brea Tar Pits over two nights to battle it out and crown the toughest champions of each prehistoric era. On February 20, Dino Night, we’ll travel to the Mesozoic for a colossal rumble among the dinosaurs, and on February 21, Ice Age Night we’ll take a trip to the Pleistocene for an epic Ice Age brawl. Both evenings will also include getting up-close to rarely seen fossils from both museums’ collections, a book signing by Ted Rechlin, interactive activities, and more.
