Gallery

The Lost World of Dragons was a great success—attracting adults and children alike to stand at the feet of these mythical beasts as they came to life in our galleries. Visitors raved about the lifelike qualities of the models, and returned time and again to take the dragon challenge and become a master “dragonologist.” The awesome hands-on team team at Stage 9 Exhibits offered great solutions for our gallery needs, and were responsive, supportive, and proactive in every aspect of the exhibition planning process.”
