The museum ropes the fascinating tales of the Pipestone Creek Dinosaur bones bed, showcasing how and what led to their discovery and excavation. The museum parallelly narrates the discovery of the bone bed, the paleontological process of recreating dinosaurs and the experience of this prehistoric time period. Pachyrhinosaurus Lakustai dinosaur’s re-erected skeleton of the native exclusively features at the museum ingress with a reminiscing charm. Locally sourced timber structural members and perforated acoustic wooden partitioned finishes wholly induce a warm ambience to the dramatically set sustainable building.

Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum incorporates an innovative process for custom-designing wooden structural nodes. The nodes were developed, modelled and designed in Rhino, in collaboration with Fast + Epp Structural Engineers and StructureCraft, engendering complex 3D modelling and shop fabrication of each piece and installed by StructureCraft.

Teeple Architects have ingeniously crafted a unique vision of every joinery that stems and divides in embellishing structural formats. Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum opens to extensive structural play, elusively echoing the era from Triassic to Jurassic to Cretaceous!
