Dinosaurs in Motion

Dinosaurs in Motion, located in Dearborn, MI, is a unique exhibition at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation where visitors can engage with 16 life-size metal dinosaurs in an interactive and educational experience. Designed to be highly interactive, this limited-engagement exhibition offers a hands-on exploration of art and science, showcasing the intersection of sketching, metalworking, biomechanics, kinetics, and robotics that bring these sculptures to life.

Created by sculptor John Payne of Asheville, North Carolina, in collaboration with paleontologist Dr. Mark Norell, the metal dinosaurs are not only scientifically accurate but also creatively infused with kinetic movements. From making a T. rex's jaw chomp to controlling a Plesiosaurus' swimming motion, visitors can discover the innovative blend of engineering and sculpture behind these unique creations.

Featuring a variety of hands-on activities and educational opportunities, Dinosaurs in Motion offers an immersive experience for all ages, allowing guests to explore the movements and behaviors of dinosaurs such as Ouranosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Diplodocus, and more. This exhibition goes beyond traditional displays, inviting visitors to engage with the artistry and technology behind these mesmerizing metal sculptures.
