About the Event
Cazadores de dragones fills 800 m² in Parque de las Ciencias’ Vía Láctea Pavilion: original fossils, replicas and audiovisuals trace the history of palaeontology — from dragon myth to scientific dig — until 11 January 2026.
Cazadores de dragones is Parque de las Ciencias’ third major dinosaur exhibition, co-produced with Madrid’s Archaeological and Palaeontological Museum. Named after José Luis Sanz’s book — one of the curators — it traces how research has reshaped our image of dinosaurs: from Victorian mythic “dragonology” to today’s virtual palaeontology.
The Vía Láctea Pavilion’s 800 square metres include original fossils, replicas, models, photographs, audiovisuals and a hands-on workshop. Highlights include Concavenator corcovatus, a Lower Cretaceous theropod found in Cuenca — among the most complete medium-large theropod fossils in Europe — plus Tyrannosaurus rex reconstructions and dig-site scenarios.
Hours: Tue–Sat 10:30–18:30; Sun and public holidays 10:30–14:30. Museum admission required. Ideal family plan or for science-curious children: pair the show with the planetarium or biodome if booked ahead.
