EVOLUTION - THE DINNER

Celebrate the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin with a cocktail dinner at the Melbourne Museum.

Graze your way through the evolutionary tree – starting with primeval soup; sampling the origins of marine crustacean life; savouring the delicacies represented by the rise of tetrapods and the dawn of the first plants on the land; relish the devilish delights of the dinosaur period and finishing with a devastatingly delicious meteorite impact surprise.

While you dine, you will have the opportunity to explore the exhibits of the museum, be entertained by the National Institute of Circus arts and their spectacular Whale Evolution show and enjoy IMAX film features. This is an extraordinary event not to be missed. Purchase tickets to be part of this extraordinary moment in Evolution.

DINOSAURS 3D
GIANTS OF PATAGONIA

Dinosaurs 3D: Giants of Patagonia will take you on an unprecedented and unique 3D journey into the world of the largest known dinosaurs, and in the process, explore some of the great palaeontological discoveries in modern time. Patagonia has given us the largest living animal to have ever walked the Earth: the titanesque plant-eating Argentinosaur, and its nemesis, the Gigantosaur, a bipedal carnivore, that could easily challenge the famous T-Rex.
