The jury is still out on Jurassic World, the third sequel (and the first in 14 years) of the Jurassic Park franchise. But one thing’s for certain: the release of the new film has given everyone a chance to reflect on how much they loved the original. And we’re not just talking about the surplus of writers penning appreciations of Steven Spielberg’s groundbreaking 1993 adventure movie; the fine folks at Mondo Gallery in Austin, Texas have put together When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, a “dino-sized gallery show” of artworks and screen prints celebrating the Jurassic iconography. The show doesn’t open until Friday, but our friends at Mondo were kind enough to give us a peek at some preview images — including a handful exclusive to Flavorwire.
