The Château de Dampierre-en-Yvelines is set to host an unprecedented event: the auction of Vulcan, a 150 million-year-old specimen of Apatosaurus, the largest dinosaur ever offered for sale. Scheduled for Saturday, November 16, 2024, this exceptional auction promises to exceed its estimate of between 3 and 5 million euros. You still have until November 15 to admire it before it leaves for its buyer.
For dinosaur fans and budding paleontologists, the Jurassic is coming to Château de Dampierre from July 13 to November 15, 2024. Vaucain, the largest dinosaur ever sold at auction in the world, will take up summer residence in the château's Orangerie.
