Carboniferous Creatures
Exhibition at Gallery Oldham...
21 October 2023 – 27 January 2024
Step back to the Carboniferous period. Visit tropical forests and swamps teeming with bizarre and ferocious ancient monsters, some of which had larger teeth than Tyrannosaurus rex! Meet the dinosaurs’ distant ancestors, the very first reptiles, the largest creepy-crawlies ever to live, and prehistoric animals unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
This blockbuster national touring exhibition features stunning 350 million year-old original fossils, reconstructed giant prehistoric animals, and skeleton casts from museums around the world, many of which have never been displayed in the UK before.
This exhibition shows what Oldham was like 300 million years ago and explores how the remains of these prehistoric plants were the source of the carbon which eventually formed coal. Suitable for prehistoric monster fans of all ages!
