Milton Keynes in the Ice Age

I popped into the Central Library in Milton Keynes today (to check that I was on the Electoral Register) - and noticed an advertisement for an exhibition about the Ice Age in the MK area. It is being held in the Exhibition area (downstairs, behind the service desks - where the local studies section of the library used to be).

It was an interesting exhibition - explaining the geological research that led to the identification of the ice ages in Britain (there were a number - and the term can apply to a specific period - or to the general period which saw both warm and cold periods). There were also exhibits of animal remains from the creatures who were resident in this area. Good interpretation boards explained the different human species around.

I liked the way that local finds were highlighted (even if they weren't actually on display themselves.)

Well worth a visit - it's on until 11th May.
