TRACK a Stone Age animal and hear what it might have sounded like or decorate your own woolly mammoth. These are just two of the exciting activities on offer at Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum’s family friendly exhibition, Surviving the Stone Age.
And next week is the half-termholiday for schoolchildren, the perfect time to visit the museum in The Close, and learn how people lived in the Old and Middle Stone Ages, a time before farming, when people survived by hunting and gathering.
The exhibition is specially suited for primary school children with their families and aims to make you think whether you could have survived life in the Stone Age.
You will be able to see the tools left behind and discover the bones of the animals they hunted as included in the exhibition are some of the earliest stone tools found in south Wiltshire. Giant mammoth bones and rhino teeth are just a few of the Ice Age animal bones on show.
The exhibition runs until May 12 so will be open during the Easter school holidays.
Opening times are Monday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm.
