Thinktank is hosting a half-term-holiday weekend of family fossil fun to celebrate the birthday of prehistoric pioneer Mary Anning.
Mary, who was born on the 25th of May 1799, found the first-ever skeleton of an Ichthyosaur - a giant, fish-like Jurassic creature - when she was just 12 years old.
A female scientist whose story is often overlooked, Mary spent her life collecting, sharing and studying fossils...
The museum will be celebrating her legacy with a programme of talks and activities, providing visiting families with the opportunity to make their own dinosaurs, dig for fossils in the Science Garden, and enjoy storytime sessions.
