This extraordinary national traveling exhibit is making its world premiere at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles, California.

At the exhibit you will view extremely rare dinosaur eggs from the largest dinosaur nesting site ever discovered. From the "Badlands of Patagonia" to the pulse of a working paleo lab, you'll be transported into the exciting world of dinosaur detectives.

Join the expedition leader, Associate Curator Dr. Luis Chiappe, and his international team of scientists as you search for dinosaur eggs. Learn about the latest research in Argentina and have the opportunity to see real dinosaur embryo specimens and embryonic dinosaur skin -- the first ever discovered! Be amazed at how these giant sauropods - the size of large buses - grew from eggs the size of a grapefruit.

Highlights include real sauropod egg nests that are 80 million years old and a working paleo lab where visitors can watch scientists preparing dinosaur fossils. Visitors can even walk beneath a full-scale model of a giant 100-foot titanosaur, Argentinosaurus.
