From http://top40-charts.com/news.php?nid=88972:

Pterosaurs (working title)
Spring 2014-January 2015

Neither dinosaurs nor birds, pterosaurs are an extraordinarily diverse group of winged reptiles—the first vertebrates to evolve powered flight. First appearing some 220 million years ago, pterosaurs traversed the skies for roughly 150 million years before becoming extinct. There were more than 150 known species ranging from the size of a sparrow to that of an F-16 fighter jet; some had a wingspan of about 40 feet, making these the largest flying animals ever to have existed. 

Visitors will see pterosaurs up close on land, in the sky, and flying over water. The exhibition will have a special focus on flight, comparing pterosaurs to birds and bats in particular and exploring both similarities and differences. Fossils of pterosaurs and other species—dinosaurs, fish, turtles, insects, and more— as well as casts, lifelike models, videos, hands-on interactives and other exhibits will bring pterosaurs to life.
