LEGO® T. rex Dinosaur Fossil Exhibition

Set 76940 from the Jurassic World theme centres on a small exhibition featuring a T. rex skeleton rather than a living dinosaur. A bone rig, a display stand and two minifigures come together to form a museum or dig-site scene instead of the usual chase-and-escape setup.

Description

A museum, not a jungle

Unlike many Jurassic World sets built around living, often escaping dinosaurs, 76940 shows an already excavated T. rex skeleton in a display setting. That angle feels closer to a natural history museum than a theme park, bringing a calmer, research-focused side of the Jurassic World universe into the mix. For fans more drawn to palaeontology than chase scenes, it's a welcome change of pace within the range. Because there's no living dinosaur at the centre, the set also suits quieter play focused on discovery and explaining rather than chasing.

The skeleton build in detail

Tan, white and reddish brown tones form the basis of the T. rex bones, while black is used mainly for the stand and display frame elements. At 198 pieces the model stays compact, yet the skeleton's signature silhouette – a large skull, long spine and sturdy legs – comes through clearly. That makes the build a playful way to get a feel for the animal's basic anatomy along the way. That mix of warm brown tones and cool black also creates a clear visual contrast between the exhibit and its display case.

Figures and the exhibition scene

Two minifigures come with the set, leaving room for different roles, such as a researcher or a museum visitor. Together with the skeleton and display stand, they form a small, self-contained scene that also combines well with other Jurassic World sets, whether that's vehicles or further exhibition pieces from the range. That split invites you to restage the exhibition in different ways rather than sticking to a single fixed scene.

Parts and further use

With 85 unique parts, the set offers solid shape variety for its size, especially among the specialised bone elements. The full parts list on this page breaks down every colour and shape in detail, which is useful if you want to reuse the distinctive tan and reddish brown pieces for other dinosaur or fossil builds beyond this set. The black display case pieces can also be reused on their own for other small exhibition stands or podiums beyond the skeleton itself.

How many minifigures are included?
Two minifigures come with the set and can be used for different roles around the exhibition.
Do the pieces suit other dinosaur builds?
Yes, the 85 parts in tan, white and reddish brown tones combine well with other skeleton or dig-site scenes; the parts list on this page has the full details.
