Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology Description

The Tyrell Museum of Palaeontology, on the north bank of the Red Deer River, was opened in 1985. It lies 6 km (4 mi.) to the north-west on the western edge of Midland Provincial Park. This most interesting museum has earned a worldwide reputation.

The most modern museum techniques have brought millions of years of the earth's history back to life. 800 fossils, including 35 dinosaur skeletons, films and - last but not least - twenty easy to use computer terminals, provide the visitor with an insight into the fascinating evolution of life on earth. A primeval garden shows tropical and subtropical plant species and their descendants as they were 350 million years ago, at the start of the Carbonaceous Period.
