World's Tallest Dinosaur Scale

The Giraffatitan skeleton in Berlin's Natural History Museum stands 13.27 metres tall, the tallest mounted dinosaur on Earth. Set your own height and see exactly what you are walking up to.

A free height-comparison tool for Berlin's Natural History Museum dinosaur.

Use this free Berlin tool to feel the scale of the Giraffatitan before you stand under it. Numbers like 13 metres slide past until you compare them to your own height, so set yours and see how many of you it takes to look the tallest dinosaur on Earth in the eye.

What this tool does

This tool turns the museum's headline number into something you can feel. The Giraffatitan skeleton in the central hall reaches 13.27 metres, and the tool scales your own height against it so 13 metres stops being an abstract figure.

The tallest mounted dinosaur on Earth

The Giraffatitan brancai in Berlin holds the Guinness record for the tallest mounted dinosaur skeleton. It was dug up in Tanzania between 1909 and 1913 and stands in the glass-roofed central hall of the Museum für Naturkunde.

How to use it

Set your height with the slider or a preset, and the tool shows how many of you it would take to reach the dinosaur’s head, roughly which part of the animal you would reach, and a simple side-by-side bar.

Plan the visit

The museum sits on Invalidenstraße, a short walk from U6 Naturkundemuseum. Read the full guide for 2026 tickets, opening hours, and the other exhibits worth your time.
