Hong Kong Space Museum launches new 3D dome show "Dinosaurs of Antarctica 3D" (with photos)

******************************************************************************************

     The Hong Kong Space Museum will launch a new 3D dome show, "Dinosaurs of Antarctica 3D" on July 1 (Friday). The show utilises top-tier computer graphic technology to reconstruct prehistoric Antarctica's formerly green past with dinosaurs and other ancient creatures.

   Before the deep freeze set in, dinosaurs and other ancient animals had been living in prehistoric Antarctica. "Dinosaurs of Antarctica 3D" reconstructs the hunting scene of Cryolophosaurus, the largest known early Jurassic carnivore, and demonstrates that dinosaurs' survival was never easy. In now-frozen Antarctica, dedicated scientists are unearthing hidden fossils of distinctive dinosaurs and plants to understand the ice-covered continent's profound transformation.

   The screening times of the 41-minute show are 2pm and 6.30pm on weekdays and 12.30pm and 5pm on weekends and public holidays. The Hong Kong Space Museum, located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, is closed on Tuesdays (except public holidays).

   Tickets priced at $24 (front stalls) and $32 (stalls) are now available at the Hong Kong Space Museum Box Office and URBTIX (www.urbtix.hk). For details of the show, please visit hk.space.museum/en_US/web/spm/shows/3d-show/dinosaurs-of-antarctica-3d.html, or call 2721 0226 for enquiries.
