Internationally-acclaimed artists bring dinosaurs to life in Albury
Dinosaurs are roaring back to life in Albury in a vibrant, family-friendly exhibition that blends science, art and imagination to reawaken the prehistoric world.
Touring exhibition, How to Draw a Dinosaur, will be on display at our very own Albury LibraryMuseum from Saturday 28 March to Sunday 26 July 2026.
This free exhibition invites visitors to step into a world where art and science unite to reimagine the awe-inspiring creatures of the prehistoric past. While fossils provide important clues, much about dinosaurs - their colours, textures and patterns - remains a mystery. This unique exhibition asks: why leave the fun to scientists?
Exploring the creative partnership between scientific discovery and artistic interpretation, the exhibition reveals how dinosaurs are reconstructed from fossil evidence - and how much is left to the human imagination. Colour, texture and personality emerge not only from research, but from the artists who bring these ancient creatures vividly to life.
Featuring works by internationally acclaimed artists including Phoebe Paradise, Christine Mellor and Matthew Aberline, alongside celebrated paleoartists Dr Lida Xing and Andy Frazer, the exhibition presents dinosaurs as you’ve never seen them before.
Albury Mayor Kevin Mack said the exhibition offers a rare opportunity for families to connect with both science and creativity.
“How to Draw a Dinosaur is a fantastic example of how art and science can come together to spark curiosity and imagination,” Mayor Mack said.
“We’re proud to welcome this inspiring exhibition to Albury. It’s an experience that will captivate children and adults alike, encouraging our community to explore, create and see the prehistoric world through fresh eyes.”
How to Draw a Dinosaur is a touring exhibition by the Tweed Regional Museum and supported by Create NSW.
