Sneak Peek: Sea Monsters Unearthed

Sneak Peek: Sea Monsters Unearthed explores the period when Africa and South America—continents that once fit together like puzzle pieces—split apart.

The exhibition showcases an international collaboration among scientists, revealing what fossils can tell us about our past and future. It immerses visitors in an ancient ocean ecosystem both strange and surprisingly familiar. The physical forms and fonts of the show were inspired by the cliffs and rocks of Angola, where scientists found the mosasaur bones and fossils traveling with the exhibition. The logotype is a reflection of the layering of history, and the exhibit structures use skeletal forms and plywood layers that evoke the layers of the earth.
