Flesh and Bones - Recreating Ancient Whales and Sharks

  • Berninneit - Stringybark Room (upstairs) 91-97 Thompson Avenue Cowes VIC 3922 Australia (map)

In this fun, hands-on drawing activity, children will reconstruct some of the most famous and terrifying prehistoric whales and sharks that ever lived in Victoria.

Utilising up-to-date scientific knowledge, participants will slowly flesh out prehistoric animals by adding muscles and skin to a 2-dimensional fossil skull provided to them on paper.  

Palaeontologist Ben Francischelli will showcase the available evidence that has been collected across Victoria, and teach participants about Victoria’s ancient world of whales and sharks.

This workshop is suitable for all ages.

When: 2pm - 2.45pm

Where: Berninneit - Stringybark Room (upstairs)

Cost: $15 (+ booking fee)
