THE grounds of the Yorkshire Museum in York are being turned into the city's very own Jurassic Park for a new exhibition.

Entitled Walking With Dinosaurs, it has been produced in conjunction with the BBC and features two of the original models used in the hugely successful television series.

Opening on Saturday, the exhibition explores 170 million years of pre-history, with computer technology to show how the television series was made.
