Birmingham, UK – An exciting and immersive exhibition featuring giant prehistoric animals is set to make its UK debut at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery on August 2nd, 2025.
Titled “GIANTS,” the exhibition is a product of the collaboration between the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences and Nomad Exhibitions. It takes visitors on a fascinating journey through time, from 66 million years ago to the present day, to encounter the awe-inspiring creatures that roamed the Earth after the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Attendees will have the opportunity to marvel at life-sized 3D models and skeletons, including the formidable Otodus megalodon, the mightiest shark of all time, the Mammuthus primigenius or woolly mammoth, weighing in at between six and eight tons with long thick fur and imposing tusks, and Gigantopithecus blacki, an Asian primate comparable in size to three orangutans.
In addition to its impressive displays, the exhibition also includes interactive elements that allow visitors of all ages to step into the shoes of paleontologists and biologists, engaging with the scientific processes behind fossil discovery and reconstruction.
GIANTS is a family-friendly exhibition that will run from August 2nd to November 2nd, 2025, from Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, at the Gas Hall in Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. For adults aged 18 and over, there will be a special after-hours access to the exhibition on September 20th, from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. This one-time late opening event will feature object-handling of specimens from the museum’s collection, “meet the expert” talks by the museum’s natural science curator and Dr. Jack Cooper, a renowned palaeobiologist and shark expert. Attendees will also have the opportunity to take part in spotlight tours of the museum’s iconic Round Room and Industrial Gallery and enjoy a limited edition craft beer from the Birmingham Brewing Company in the Tearoom bar.
Tickets for the late opening of GIANTS must be booked in advance through the Birmingham Museums website. General admission tickets to the exhibition can also be pre-booked online or purchased on arrival, subject to availability.
Zak Mensah and Sara Wajid, co-chief executives of Birmingham Museums Trust, expressed their excitement about the exhibition’s arrival, stating, “We are delighted to welcome the GIANTS exhibition to the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery for its UK debut. This inspiring installation not only captures the imagination about the creatures of the past with its monumental scale but also delivers a vital message about sustainability and our shared responsibility to protect the planet for the future. Birmingham Museums is committed to using storytelling to engage communities with the challenges of our time, and GIANTS does exactly that in a powerful and accessible way.”
