The Museum provided a fun and very informative historical and fossil account of the \”period of the dinosaurs\”. The museum opened in 1985 as just the plain old tyrrell museum of palaeontology, however 10 years later in 1995 due to the museum\’s important work and increasing reputation the queen of england gave it her approval, and it gained the royal on the front of its name.
