Company background

Gondwana Studios is an Australian-based company that specializes in the production of Museum quality displays and travelling exhibitions. Our experienced team has traveled internationally installing exhibitions as well as molding and casting fossil specimens for Museums around the world.

Gondwana Studios evolved from the casting Department of the Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery and started producing scientifically accurate fossil casts for national and international markets in 1991. Our team of technicians were given permission to manufacture moulds from the ‘Great Russian Dinosaurs’ Exhibition from the Palaeontological Institute of Moscow, which toured Australia and the United States of America in the 1990s.

Gondwana Studios currently specialises in the designs and manufacture of travelling exhibition, while still continuing to offer a range of dinosaur, Permian reptiles, Australian megafauna and fleshed models casts to Museums and private costumers around the world. A percentage of the proceeds made from the sales of casts by Gondwana Studios is returned to the institutions that provided the fossils for casting, to help support scientific research
