A refreshed gallery
After a period of closure spanning the winter of 2009- 2010, the Market Hall re-opened in March. Amongst the many changes were a refreshed geology gallery, incorporating many changes and exhibiting a large number of specimens that had previously been in stores. New features include the Honington plesiosaur, a life-size reconstruction of a Jurassic ichthyosaur, and Jurassic fossils from cement quarries at Southam.
Rocks from outer space
During the summer of 2009, the museum was lucky enough to receive a loan of real moonrock samples, and some rare meteorites. Follow the links below for more information.
