Sharing is caring

You’ve forced your way through various unwelcoming environments, used all your amazing skills in search of mysteries of the ages long dawn. What comes next? It’s only natural that you want to share your discoveries with the whole wide world. So, let’s open your private museum and become a truly brilliant custodian.

Gather your findings, carefully prepare the bones and assemble astounding skeletons of various primordial creatures. Show them to the society. They deserve it as much as you deserve the fame that will undoubtedly come upon you.

Customize your display

Start with creating a few exhibits for the pleasure of your museum's future visitors. Put your completed dinosaur skeleton into the exhibition and give it a little bit of “life” by setting its pose to imitate lifelike situations. Maybe it’s battling some other ferocious beast or resting after a hard day of searching for food? Use your creativity to arrange breathtaking scenes involving many different species in their natural environments.

And as for the environments – make them as realistic as possible. Choose a fitting biome that will determine the general look of your creation and the ground type as well. Open grasslands, desolate deserts and rocky plateaus may become home for your skeleton findings. Carefully decorate your exhibition with real plants, rocks and trees to make your prehistoric findings look more attractive.

Design is what matters

But even the best and most amazing exhibition needs a good background setting that will underline its value. That's why you will also need to tend your museum. Customize floors and walls in order to bring out the mood of your exhibitions. Personalize and change them to your heart's content.

Push through various unwelcoming environments and use your skills in search of mysteries of the land. But that's only the beginning of your quest. After finding an interesting spot and digging out precious fossils, it's time to customize your museum. Arrange the interior, grow plants and decorate the building with various displays.

And what’s most important – design your diorama showing prehistoric scenes. Choose all elements of the set, from small plant to rocks and even ground type. Arrange dinosaurs to create thrilling and dynamic scenes that will make them nearly come back to life in the imagination of your visitors. Put some finishing touches and now you’re a truly brilliant custodian of your private museum!
