The Royal Tyrrell Museum....
Dinosaur lovers & fossil hunters heaven!!!
"The Story of Life" by Canadian artist Lorraine Malach. This incredible ceramic mural is in the Museums foyer.....this is a selection of the ten panels.........
We had a couple of trips to the museum........not only due to its size!
The first day we went, Vin decided we should walk......"it's a beautiful sunny day, only 6km & there is a path the whole way". While all observations were true, he didn't allow for the 100km headwind we were walking in or for losing the path! Needless to say, the 6km walk took us a little longer than anticipated, though we did walk through some fantastic landscape, however it considerably shortened our viewing time.
We caught a taxi home........
The next visit was more leisurely, starting with driving the 6km to the museum (instead of battling the headwind) followed by a less frenetic pace to see it all before closing time!
Even if you are not a dinosuar afficendo or a fossil hunter, it was a superb collection of plant & animal fossils; skeletons; information............
