Every exhibit comes with a certificate of authenticity and awaits you in the gallery, so you can see it in person before you decide.
We will bring these exhibits in especially for you — the gallery manager will discuss timing and terms with you personally.
A RELICTUM manager will clarify the dimensions of the space, the purpose and the budget, then suggest suitable skeletons and show them at the gallery. We take care of delivering the large exhibit and installing it professionally in your space.
Skeletons in this section: 8 — dinosaurs; Ice Age animals — mammoth, cave bear, woolly rhinoceros, steppe bison, wolf; marine reptiles and snakes.
Prices from 1 500 000 ₽ to 12 500 000 ₽. Small reptile skeletons on a slab cost less; full-size skeletons of large animals are the most expensive.
The dimensions of each skeleton are given on its lot page. A large exhibit needs to be approachable from at least two sides and lit separately; a manager will help assess the space from a floor plan or photos of the room.
Skeletons are transported in specialised crates, and installation is carried out by RELICTUM or its contractor. RELICTUM covers transit insurance.
Complete skeletons for a collection are chosen starting from the hall, not the catalogue. You need the wall length, the ceiling height and at least a few metres of approach, otherwise the silhouette loses its impact. Ask about the share of original bone and the design of the armature: a good mount holds the pose and lets you walk all the way round. Consider the floor and the possible point load from the steel frame. Light is usually placed above and slightly to the side so that the shadows gather the ribs and spine. Once the room's parameters are clear, it is easier to choose a dinosaur or mammoth fauna skeleton that fits the space without crowding it.
