Mary Anning Day - September 24th

Lyme Regis Museum celebrates Mary Anning Day on Saturday September 24 with a programme of activities and talks that continues into the evening when Tracy Chevalier, author of Remarkable Creatures and Girl with a Pearl Earring talks about the discovery of Mary Anning’s first ichthyosaur 200 years ago.
The museum is open free all day - where you can look Mary's first ichthyosaur in the eye! (it's on loan to us from the Natural History Museum in London).
Tickets for the talks (being held in the Marine Theatre) are available at Lyme's tourist information centre 01297 442138

Many thanks for posting this, and for the link to the museum website. Is there any chance of adding it to your sidebar list of "Geological displays" as well? I've added your blog to our blog roll at lymeregismuseum.blogspot.com

Yes, good idea. I will add Lyme Regis Museum to the side bar - a.s.a.p.
