This travelling exhibition explores the prehistoric marine reptiles who once ruled the seas.
Step back in time to when dinosaurs roamed the land and the oceans were ruled by giant marine predators. Sea Monsters: Prehistoric Ocean Predators brings these ancient creatures to life through fascinating stories, interactive displays and real museum specimens.
Hosted by Mandurah Museum, this travelling exhibition features materials from the Australian National Maritime Museum alongside highlights from the WA Museum collection, offering a rare glimpse into the prehistoric creatures that once ruled the seas.
Discover fascinating specimens, including a whale vertebra, crocodile skulls and a hawksbill turtle, and get hands-on with models of prehistoric species.
Young explorers can also complete a quiz for the chance to win a LEGO prize, with special Make Your Own Sea Monster workshops running during the school holidays.
