Welcome to the Ice Age! Come join us for an exciting adventure. Travel more than 12.500 years back in time to the last Ice Age in our region. Get a close look at life-like Dima, the stunning replica of a Russian Mammuth calf. Marvel at the abundance and diversity of wild life in the cold climate. See how humans, the Cro-Magnons, made a living for themselves. View their reconstructed shelter, and examine their useful tools and deadly weapons. In a reconstructed cave, discover fascinating and detailed cave art of the Cro-Magnons. Feel the excitement of a palaeontologist and dig for fossils in a huge sandbox.
