Stone-faced

This is just one small section of a mural inside the Royal Tyrrell Museum, Drumheller, Alberta. The small group of four of us called in at the museum for lunch and a washroom break on a long day of birding. Our territory (section of the huge circle for the Count) was on the north side of the Red Deer River, including the Tyrrell Museum area.


"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.
