Museums Sheffield & Creswell Heritage Trust invite Sheffield Hallam University staff to the launch of Life on the Edge: Ice Age Frontier
Wednesday 1 April, 6-8pm and Weston Park Museum
Just 20 miles south east of Sheffield, Creswell Crags was once Europe’s northern frontier of settlement. During this period of great climate change between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago, a series of caves at Creswell provided occasional shelter to nomadic hunters in search of food.
The items these distant relatives left behind tell a story of lives lived on the edge and are the subject of this new exhibition, in partnership with Creswell Heritage Trust. From the remains of long extinct woolly rhinos and mammoths, to the tools and weapons used to hunt them, Life on the Edge explores the close relationship between Ice Age people and their environment.
Join us at Weston Park as we celebrate the opening of the exhibition email rsvp@museums-sheffield.org.uk to confirm your attendance and feel free to bring up to 4 guests.
