A new exhibit featuring some of the most recognizable prehistoric creatures to ever walk the Earth is coming to the Peterborough Museum and Archives.
“Horned Dinosaurs: More Than Triceratops” opens November 7, offering visitors a chance to explore the fascinating world of horned dinosaurs and learn more about their evolution and place in Earth’s history.
Developed by Research Casting International, the exhibit features dinosaur displays, striking skulls and interpretive information exploring iconic species such as Triceratops and other members of the ceratopsian family.
