At Night, This Museum Comes Alive...

The fantasy that drives sleepovers and fires the imagination is at the very heart of Museum Alive 3D. David Attenborough asks, “what if the exhibits could come to life?” In this dramatic, informative and entertaining film, audiences follow David as he stays in the museum after dark. That’s when the most fascinating, extinct, and prehistoric creatures rise again. Dinosaurs, a sabre-tooth tiger, giant birds and monster reptiles escape their display cases, shake off the dust and explore the museum.

Far from being pure fantasy, everything in Museum Alive 3D is firmly rooted in the latest science. Leading paleontologists and award-winning CGI artists collaborated to create this unique documentary. Audiences will be treated to a thrilling, spectacular film that both educates and entertains. As the lights go down, the past comes roaring back to life! 

This film is featured in 3D on our GIANT Screen Theater.
