Since its establishment in 1995, the Two Medicine Dinosaur Center has drawn over 5,000 visitors a year to the remote frontier of north central Montana. This nonprofit organization receives no tax dollars for its operational costs, yet provides great benefits to the public through paleontological field programs, excitingexhibits, scientific publications and consultations. Its certified and degreed staff provides the only Montana based accredited field program offered to the general public. It is also one of only two dinosaur research facilities in the State.
The Two Medicine Dinosaur Center houses a wide variety of dinosaur species, invertebrates, plant fossils, archeological materials, and cultural items. Towering high above the exhibits is the immense Seismosaurus, the first reconstruction of this record-setting dinosaur. On display also are some of Montana's rarest fossil discoveries - the first infant Maiasaura bones from the area's famous Egg Mountain.
Two Medicine Dinosaur Center also provides invaluable assistance to other museums across Montana, helping with their exhibits, scientific, and educational programs, thereby strengthening the profile of Montana's unique museums.
