Larger-than-life creatures have arrived at HistoryMiami Museum with its feature exhibition, “Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns & Mermaids.”
Mythic Creatures traces the roots of some of the world’s most enduring mythological creatures from Asia, Europe, the Americas, and even how Miamians embrace their own mythic fantasies. On display through Mar. 31, the exhibition encourages visitors to investigate for themselves how cast fossils of prehistoric animals could have, through misidentification, speculation, fear or imagination, inspired the development of some legendary creatures.
Visitors will come face-to-face with a 17-foot-long dragon with a wingspan of over 19 feet, a giant Kraken sea monster with 12-foot-long tentacles, a 10-foot-long unicorn, 120-foot-long Chinese Parade dragon, and an over six-foot-tall extinct primate called Gigantopithecus. Each item featured brings to life ways in which myths could have had their beginning, capturing the imagination of every child.
The exhibition offers numerous interactive stations and activities for every age group.
Hours are Wednesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday, noon-5 p.m.
“Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns & Mermaids” is organized by the American Museum of Natural History, New York (amnh.org), in collaboration with Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney; Canadian Museum of History, Gatineau-Ottawa; Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Atlanta, and The Field Museum, Chicago.
Pricing for the exhibition is $15 adults, $10 students/seniors, and $8 for Children. For more information visit historymiami.org.
