The Final Season of the Dinosaurs

The Cretaceous Period · 145 – 66 m.y.a.

Working Concept Plan

The experience this room is designed to create

Flowers bloom. Bees appear. Then a seven-mile asteroid ends 75% of all species in a single event — and the age of mammals quietly begins in the rubble.

Translate The Final Season of the Dinosaurs into a legible, embodied chapter of planetary history while keeping scientific evidence and visual reconstruction clearly distinguished.

Planning statusThis page is a directional design brief, not a finalized curatorial, architectural, or construction commitment. It will evolve through scholarly, community, accessibility, conservation, and design review.
Experience Framework

How the plan unfolds

01

Visitor journey

  • Approach through a threshold that establishes the time scale of The Cretaceous Period · 145 – 66 m.y.a..
  • Encounter the central environmental change or living system at human scale.
  • Close with one clear consequence that carries visitors toward the next room.
02

Spatial & atmospheric plan

  • Use landscape-scale imagery, material samples, and directional sound without obscuring the evidence.
  • Balance cinematic immersion with readable labels, resting points, and a low-sensory route.
  • Keep the passage to the next room visible so the spine reads as one continuous story.
03

Interpretive commitments

  • Separate verified evidence, interpretation, and artistic reconstruction in the label hierarchy.
  • Review language and object context with relevant scholars and affected communities.
  • Provide captions, transcripts, tactile or descriptive alternatives, and a low-sensory path.
04

Next development priorities

  • Confirm the curatorial thesis and source packet.
  • Identify anchor objects, replicas, media, and rights requirements.
  • Prototype the central visitor encounter at full or representative scale.
  • Complete accessibility, conservation, safety, and ethical-display reviews.
