Five Million Years in 1000 Cubes
2 October 2004
700 children and adults, including two special needs groups,
helped build a 3D geological timeline relating to the five geological periods.
Our in-house geologist was there with lots of handling materials including
fossils and dinosaur bones, while giving expert advice. A digeridoo player
marked the different time periods, adding an elemental atmosphere and
attracting people from all over the building with his unusual sounds. This was
complemented by an excellent workshop, led by Richard Morgan, a leading
children's book illustrator with Random House.
