Celebrating its 25th anniversary, The Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Drumheller which opened September 25th, 1985, the day after Kendra was born, has greatly expanded since our last visit in 1987. Now a National Historic Site, the Museum holds over 125,000 fossil vertebrates, invertebrates, plants and geologic specimens. As an active scientific research facility, the collections grow by approximately 2,000 specimens annually. Scientists demonstrated examples of the tedious and tireless preparation of a speciman for identification and display. This is a very worthwhile museum, world renowned for its study of fossils and prehistoric times for young and old alike.
