Take a rare and exciting look at the life of dinosaurs through their eggs, nests and embryos in Hatching the Past: Dinosaur Eggs and Babies. This remarkable hands-on exhibition is composed of more than 50 authentic dinosaur eggs and nests collected from all over the globe—including those from each of the major plant and meat-eating dinosaur groups. The exhibition opens at the Las Cruces Museum of Natural History on May 21st from 6:00 pm. to 8:00 pm.

Hatching the Past presents new discoveries about dinosaur reproduction and behavior and introduces the fascinating people and science behind these discoveries. This multi-media experience gives credence to long-debated theories that dinosaurs and birds are closely related.

A captivating experience for all ages, Hatching the Past invites visitors to touch a real dinosaur bone, dig for eggs, experience hands-on exploration stations and view animated video presentations.  Each science-rich section is enhanced with exciting life-like models of embryos and hatchlings, colorful illustrations of dinosaur family life and stunning photographs of some of the world’s most renowned dinosaur hunters and their discoveries. 

Hatching the Past was developed by Charlie and Florence Magovern of The Stone Company, Boulder, Colorado, in association with the Harvard Museum of Natural History. The Museum of Natural History strives to inspire curiosity about the sciences, facilitate life-long learning, and promote stewardship of the natural environment of the Chihuahuan desert and southern New Mexico.
