#Comingsoon to our early Ice Age exhibit: a brand-new microscope 🔬 After successful testing, we're just about ready to install it. Visitors of all ages can look forward to an up-close encounter with #tephra, the material ejected from volcanoes during eruptions #MuseumMonday

Today we're excited to share a few pictures of a ~30,000 year old arctic ground squirrel that was discovered at Hester Creek in the Klondike Gold Fields, within the Traditional Territory of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in near Dawson City, Yukon.
Thanks to Alpine Veterinary Medical Centre, we were able to get some incredible x-rays of the squirrel's remains. It's amazing to think that this little guy was running around the Yukon several thousand years ago.

a few more for you ...

It’s #MuseumMonday and I haven’t been great about this. I’ve been meaning to share art that I’ve seen, and that’ll happen. I saw someone share the Mastodon skeleton from the Harvard Natural History Museum. I took a pic of that in June 2019.
