Mary Anning Morning at the Sedgwick Museum

Immerse yourself in the world of Mary Anning: explore real fossils and use these to make your own clay ammonite to take home.  Dress up as Mary Anning and her brother Joseph and hear ‘first-hand’ about her life. Find out about her experience as a working-class, woman scientist in the 1800s, and discover how her fossils arrived in our collection.

Dive deeper into the history of Mary Anning by exploring her letters, drawings and other materials in our archives.

Mary Anning will be staying with us until 4.30pm, along with the dress-up activity.
