The exhibition "Meet Bèr - Mosasaurus Experience" shows the story of the geological epoch Maastrichtian, also known as the Cretaceous. In that era, between 70 and 66 million years ago, a shallow, subtropical Cretaceous sea inundated Maastricht and South Limburg. In it lived giant Maas lizards, also called mosasaurs, among other things. The Natuurhistorisch Museum Maastricht displays the remains of several locally found bones of these giants. The most famous one is Bèr. He is the namesake of the new exhibition "Meet Bèr - Mosasaur Experience. His 3D printed skeleton is the centerpiece of the exhibition.

Ai is all around us. Sometimes we are aware of it, sometimes not. In Discovery Museum you now visit the informative and interactive exhibition "Ai: the expo". This expo paints as complete a picture as possible of Ai as a technology: its applications, opportunities and challenges. Equipped with the right information, you will then be better prepared for social discussions about Ai and for the choice to what extent you yourself want to use Ai systems.
