Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal

Queensgate · 2018 · Most Complete Torvosaurus Display

What you'll hear here: about 90 seconds on Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal — how it came to be, who it mattered to, and what to look for while you're standing in front of it.

Here in Queensgate, Ohio, you'll find a sprawling terminal complex of museums, a library, and a symphonic pipe organ. From this threshold you can sense a museum complex that houses museums, a theater, a library, a symphonic pipe organ, and special traveling exhibitions. Inside you’ll find the Cincinnati History Museum, the Museum of Natural History & Science, the Robert D. Lindner Family Omnimax Theater, the Cincinnati History Library and Archives, the Duke Energy Children's Museum, and the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust and Humanity Center.

Wander into the Museum of Natural History & Science and you’ll enter Dinosaur Hall, where skeletons and fossils include examples in the Galeamopus, Daspletosaurus, and Torvosaurus genera. The Torvosaurus skeleton, installed in 2018, is notable here: it’s the most complete skeleton of that genus at 55 percent complete, and it is the only Torvosaurus skeleton publicly exhibited. The natural history galleries also preserve a reproduction of a limestone cave — an exhibit now titled “The Cave,” which was first installed as “The Cavern” in the museum’s Gilbert Avenue location in 1967, ten years after that location opened.

Ahead of you wait dinosaur skeletons, a symphonic pipe organ, and stories collected across generations of this terminal.
