Meet Bèr - Mosasaur experience
UNTIL 31 December 2026
The exhibition at the Natural History Museum Maastricht shows the story of the geological era Maastrichtian, also known as the Cretaceous.
The story of the geological epoch Maastrichtian, also known as the Cretaceous, is told. In that era, between 70 and 66 million years ago, a shallow, subtropical Cretaceous sea inundated Maastricht and South Limburg. In it lived, among other things, giant Meuse lizards, also known as mosasaurs. The museum houses remains of several locally found bones of these giants. The most famous one is Bèr. He is the namesake of the new exhibition 'Meet Bèr - Mosasaur Experience'.
His 3D printed skeleton is the centrepiece of the exhibition.
