VISITORS to a North-East museum will be able to step back into the Jurassic period.

Walking with Dinosaurs: The Exhibition is at Newcastle's Hancock Museum, from October 13 to February 24.

Based on the award-winning BBC series, it will give visitors an opportunity to explore the scientific and technological advances that helped bring dinosaurs to life.

It features models from the series, fossils and TV footage.

Steve McLean, museum curator, said: "We are absolutely thrilled to be playing host to this fantastic exhibition."
