Second in grandeur only to the skeleton itself is the large, hand-painted
mural
, featuring a Pleistocene Maryland scene with woolly mammoths in the foreground and, in the background, shades of the Laurentide Ice Sheets that stopped in Northern Pennsylvania. This beautiful, original artwork was crafted and brought to life by Brittany Roger, graduate of MICA, teacher, naturalist, and friend to all animals, who generously donated her time and talents.
In this presentation, Brittany will reveal the strategic choices that went into planning and executing the Pleistocene
mural
for Maryland’s first woolly mammoth exhibit, a dream come true. “Since visiting the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in 2007, I’ve dreamed of making a
mural
for an exhibit like this! I’ve always been fascinated with the Ice Age, recently extinct fauna, and of course — the mammoth!”
