Main staircase at NHM Vienna
hall 10 - dinosaurs
The principal element of the hall is a central platform where the large skeletons of Diplodocus, Allosaurus and Iguanodon can be viewed from all sides. The dinosaur podium is animated by the Animatronics-model of an Allosaurus, correlating with the skeleton cast of a 150-million-year-old Allosaurus fragilis from Utah. Measuring more than 6 m, the very realistic model represents a “youngster“ of this most dangerous predator of late Jurassic.
A full-size Pteranodon model with a wingspan of 7 m dominates the air space of the hall. Further highlights of the exhibition are the skeleton of Archelon ischyros - the largest turtle ever, a female ichthyosaur with fossil embryos and several pterosaur-skeletons
