Inspired by archaeology, lost civilizations, and
the art of illustration, James Gurney’s Dinotopia
series of best-selling books explores a lost
island where dinosaurs and shipwrecked travelers
live harmoniously, side by side. Luminous
paintings from three Dinotopia books, beautifully
crafted drawings, and handmade models featured in
this exhibition explore the wonders of the distant
past through the lens of the imagination. The
exhibition includes more than sixty paintings from
three Dinotopia books, Dinotopia: A Land Apart
From Time (1992), Dinotopia: The World
Beneath (1995), and Dinotopia: Journey to
Chandara (2007), and examples of the artist’s
creative process, including preliminary studies,
reference photos, and handmade scale models.
