The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) is diving to new depths this fall — and Monsters of the Abyss: Aquatic Predators Past + Present is an experience you’ll have to see to believe.
This new feature exhibit takes Portlanders into an immersive underwater world of prehistoric giants, fascinating fossils, and real-life monsters that inspired myths + legends.
Here’s what you can expect (and why you won’t want to miss it):
- Ancient creatures | From massive mosasaurs to a spine-chilling Spinosaurus, discover predators that once lurked beneath the surface.
- Fossils + facts | Explore millions of years of evolution, from early sea creatures to their present-day descendants, through daily educational programming.
- Live animals | Meet some of today’s underwater animals up close.
Monsters of the Abyss: Aquatic Predators Past + Present runs through February 16, 2026, at OMSI.
