About From Dinosaurs to Mammoths

In Auronzo di Cadore, the exhibition 'From Dinosaurs to Mammoths' recounts the great natural history of the planet, from prehistoric eras to the glaciations of the Pleistocene. Full-size reproductions animate the Santa Caterina lakeside promenade and the spaces of the Museo di Palazzo Corte Metto, while the exhibition path, curated by paleontologist Simone Maganuco, guides the visitor in discovering the megafauna that inhabited the Dolomites. A dissemination project that in its previous edition, dedicated to dinosaurs, attracted over 7,000 visitors.

A Journey into Prehistory at the Foot of the Tre Cime

The exhibition 'Auronzo Tre Cime: From Dinosaurs to Mammoths, the story continues' is one of the main cultural events of the summer in Auronzo di Cadore, in the province of Belluno. After the success of the project dedicated to dinosaurs, which attracted over 7,000 visitors, the exhibition continues the narrative of natural history by shifting the focus to the glaciations of the Pleistocene and the megafauna that inhabited the mountains.

Full-Size Reproductions

The exhibition path unfolds between the Santa Caterina lakeside promenade, where full-size reproductions of prehistoric animals are located, and the Museo di Palazzo Corte Metto, which houses the indoor exhibition area. An installation designed to engage families, schools, and natural science enthusiasts.

Scientific Curation

The exhibition is curated by paleontologist Simone Maganuco, ensuring the scientific rigor of the content. The initiative is part of the cultural enhancement project of the Municipality of Auronzo di Cadore, which during the summer complements sporting events with an offering dedicated to culture and dissemination, set against the backdrop of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
