Dinosaur Discovery Museum

Welcome to the Dinosaur Discovery Museum

The Dinosaur Discovery Museum in Kenosha, Wisconsin is the only museum to exclusively focus on the link between birds and meat-eating dinosaurs, one of the most complete known fossil records. The Carthage Institute of Paleontology is housed in the Museum, and it is dedicated to the preparation and conservation of real dinosaur fossils.

Temporary Exhibits

Fossils from the Field

A new exhibit in the Friends Gallery; coming in the fall 2008.

Permanent Exhibits

The main gallery of the Museum shows the link between birds and meat-eating dinosaurs (theropods), which is one of the most complete transitions known from the fossil record. Skeletal casts exhibit the most complete display of theropods and primitive birds as compared to the major natural history museums in the country.
