Sheffield Museums Live: Introducing the Last Ice Age – the Evidence from Creswell Crags

Tune in to Sheffield Museums' Facebook page on Wed 9 Jun at 1pm for their next online event!

Get ready to go back in time over 10,000 years, to the last Ice Age – a time when megafauna like mammoths and woolly rhinoceros roamed the land and humans weren’t always top of the food chain! From fossils to stone tools and some of the oldest known art from Britain, learn how the discoveries from the caves at Creswell Crags have helped shaped our understanding of this fascinating and often misunderstood time period.

You’ll hear from Jen Horseman, Learning Officer at Creswell Crags, about extremely important site Ice Age finds, many of which are now in Sheffield’s collection and on display at Weston Park Museum.

If you can’t make the live broadcast, the video will be available to watch later on Facebook.
