Royal Tyrrell Museum

What an excellent museum! Huge, well-designed, modern, and comfortable (a nice garden for eating lunch). Across from the museum is a high hill with great views, including down on the museum.

Upon entering the Royal Tyrrell Museum, you come into a very dark room, with full-scale replicas of many dinosaurs from various periods (very dramatic). The well-positioned skeletons have the quality of modern art, with great motion and impact.

The galleries that followed are arranged in historical order (Devonian, Cambrian, Jurassic, etc.; my pictures aren't). The exhibits were some of the best designs I have ever encountered in a natural science museum.

The museum concluded with the relatively recent remains of a giant wooly mammoth (right) being attacked by two saber-tooth tigers.
