LOOK: The National Museum takes visitors to fossils and mammoths
The exhibition is arranged chronologically. They will find a lot of trilobites and fossilized plants in the Proterozoic. Among the fossils is also cooksonia – a fossil of the oldest designated terrestrial vascular plant in the world, which the museum has had in its collections for more than a hundred years. It comes from the collections of Joachim Barrand and lived on Earth about 432 million years ago. It measures about six centimeters.
A walk through history all the way to the Quaternary in the Czech lands, which will revive prehistoric animal models, tell the story of the saber-toothed tiger, mammoth and cub, and also introduce the only Czech dinosaur, Burianosaur. Showcases in black frames are part of the design that helps the architect Renata Slámková create for the National Museum. The black moving rollers above the showcases will represent the terrain of the Czech landscape through lights and shadows. The luminous fibers will turn up the ceiling of the exhibition hall to remind visitors that there was a prehistoric sea in these places millions of years ago.
