The Sternberg Museum of Natural History is opening a new exhibit.  On Saturday, December 14th, the museum will unveil “Titans of the Ice Age.”

Museum Director Dr. Reese Barrick told Hays Post that this exhibit will feature the skeletons of mammals that lived during the Ice Age alongside some taxidermied current-day mammals.  Barrick said comparing them side by side helps people understand the difference in animals then and now.

Dr. Barrick estimates that this exhibit will be up for around one year, as the items on display belong to Sternberg and are not on loan from other organizations.

Museum members will be invited to a special viewing December 14th from 10am – 12pm. The new exhibit will be open to the public after noon. Refreshments will be served at the event for everyone to enjoy.
