The Dinosaur Expo 2016

It's a sure sign of warmer weather: Tokyo always seems to get one of these beastly prehistoric displays in spring or summer, delighting dino fans of all ages with massive skeletons, more or less realistic reconstructions and eye-popping 3D visuals. The venue this year will be Ueno's National Museum of Nature and Science, where visitors can check out bones, fossils and illustrative displays recounting the latest in dinosaur research. In addition to a full-scale T-Rex skeleton and a rare baby dinosaur fossil, highlights include an exhibit centred around Spinosaurus, the largest carnivorous dino ever discovered. Look up at a reconstructed skeleton of this giant and catch the specially made short film that explores what chaos might ensue if a Spinosaurus suddenly emerged from Tokyo Bay and took to the city streets.
