Survive the Stone Age this Spring at Salisbury Museum

Surviving the Stone AgeVenue: Major Exhibition Galleries / Salisbury & South Wiltshire Museum
Category: Exhibitions
Date: 28 Jan 2012 - 12 May 2012
Time: 10:00 - 11:30 

When the climate changes from warm to freezing, the plants and animals you rely on for food and clothing die out or disappear, how would YOU survive?  Packed full of fun activities set alongside Ice Age animal bones and the oldest objects made by people found in this area, this exhibition looks at how the earliest people survived over 300,000 years ago. 
Specially suited for primary school ages or families, but with something of interest for everyone, you will be asked to think about whether you think you could have lived in a time before farming, when people survived by hunting and gathering and when extreme climate change threatened their existence.  
Plus, if you enter our cave Art Competition, you get free admission in to the exhibition if you bring your entry with you.  We will display it in the exhibition and you have chance of winning a special Behind the Scenes tour with the Museum’s Director who will even let you touch a real mammoth bone!
