Family activity: Mary Anning at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery
About
Come and see palaeontologist Anne-Marie’s most marvellous lecture for the young palaeontologists of today!
Anne-Marie will tell the story of her favourite palaeontologist, the famous Mary Anning, and how she discovered incredible fossils at the age of just 13 years old. These discoveries have helped us to keep learning about the ancient marine reptiles of the early Jurassic period. Expect puppetry, epic marine reptiles and facts about the world’s biggest (and boniest) eyeball!
This theatrical performance from Megan Vaughan Thomas (Cardboard Adventures’ Boxville, Nottingham Playhouse’s Hansel & Gretel) and Stephanie Kempson (winner of a Fringe First Award at Edinburgh Fringe, and New York Times Critics’ Pick for Breathless) is designed to bring the story of Bristol Museum’s Temnodontosaurus fossil to life for 7-11yr olds and inspire them to search for fossil discoveries of their own.
The performances are ticketed, so we advise booking in advance but there will be some tickets released on the day. Please arrive a little early to secure your space, and there will be some opportunities to make props to use. The performance area will have limited seating so if you have any access requirements, please let us know in advance museumbookings@bristol.gov.uk
