People in Dorset and the surrounding area discovered a massive dragon skeleton on the Jurassic Coast. The sculpture was inspired by the popular television series Game of Thrones. The exhibition site was no coincidence: England’s Jurassic Coast is famous as a place where many dinosaur fossils have been found.
Dragon Skeleton – Modern Sculpture on the English Coast
The coast near Charmouth in Dorset has long been popular because many dinosaur fossils have been found there. The mysterious, often foggy beach was chosen as the site for this modern sculpture. The dragon skeleton stands more than 3 meters high and stretches about 12 meters long. A team of sculptors designed and built the piece over two months. The project required extensive preparation; the aim was to create a dragon skeleton that looked imaginative but also realistic. The installation was part of a series of urban fossil interventions, including a T-Rex statue in Paris.
Dragon Skeleton Inspired by HBO’s Game of Thrones
Mythical creatures from fairy tales and legends recently gained new life thanks to the hit American TV series Game of Thrones. The installation was inspired by the stories and designed as an advertisement for the third season. Dragons play different roles in different stories: sometimes they offer help and protection, while at other times they are seen as pure evil. In the series, they have a special role. Whether the dragons can be completely controlled by the Khaleesi, or whether they retain their own will, remains uncertain. We look forward to the next season.
