Brachiosaurus Replica

Life-size Brachiosaurus replica at Chicago's Field Museum — a face-to-face encounter with the Late Jurassic.

The life-size Brachiosaurus replica at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago is one of the city's most impressive encounters with prehistoric life. The Brachiosaurus was among the largest land animals in Earth's history — with a long neck that allowed it to reach vegetation at great heights, and forelimbs longer than its hind legs. The detailed replica gives visitors an immediate sense of the sheer scale of these Late Jurassic creatures. The Field Museum itself is one of the world's leading natural history museums, housing alongside this replica numerous original fossils and extensive scientific collections.
