On the programme

From the depths of the ocean to the tropical forests, explore the paleontological landscapes of the great geological periods and marvel at the beauty and diversity of life.

Equipped with a virtual reality headset, you will begin your adventure in total immersion billions of years ago and experience a captivating 45-minute journey.

Guided by the young virtual researcher Charlie and her little robot Darwin, you and your group will encounter the various species that have populated the Earth. Who will dare to approach the tyrannosaurus?

The result of a close collaboration between Excurio and the National Museum of Natural History, this immersive experience was designed to be as accurate as possible. Paleontologists, paleobotanists, evolution specialists, and bioacousticians from the Museum contributed to the project, from writing the script to 3D production, including the creation of graphic and sound universes.
