The Museum at the Bighorns: March 1, marks open season and new paleontology exhibit 

“Dinosaurs to Mammals: 150 Million Years of Wyoming Prehistory” will open March 1. The exhibit was designed in partnership with Sheridan College’s Museum of Discovery. 

Life in Wyoming has evolved over time. Through millions of years Wyoming has been home to dinosaurs, mammals, fish, and reptiles. According to the museum, visitors will get to see some of the evidence those species left behind of their time on Earth and learn about the changing landscape of Wyoming. 

While appearing on Sheridan Meida’s Public Pulse program, executive director of the museum, Danielle Stuckle, told listeners that she and her team at the museum have training in handling these types of delicate objects.

Stuckle told listeners the exhibit will be on display for two years. During that time, she expects to do a number of dinosaur and prehistoric life centered programs.

March 1, also signals the season opening for the Museum at the Bighorns. Per a release from the museum, operation hours will be Tue.-Sat. from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
