The Story of Life

Royal Tyrrell Museum, Drumheller, Alberta. We had the chance to call in at the Museum for lunch when we were spending the day taking part in the Horseshoe Canyon/Drumheller Christmas Bird Count on 4 January 2013.

"The Story of Life is a ceramic mural by Canadian artist Lorraine Malach, located just inside the entrance to the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, Alberta, Canada. The mural consists of ten panels, each four feet wide and eight feet high; ten tons of clay were used. It depicts life forms from the Precambrian to the Cretaceous, as told by human-based figures. After the death of Lorraine Malach in 2003, the two remaining pieces were fired in a kiln and the mural was completed by Janet Grabner." From Wikipedia.
