Press Release, Sherman Museum

(SHERMAN, Texas) August 1, 2013

 

The Sherman Museum today announced that it will extend

Dino Days Exhibit at Sherman Museum

its popular DINO DAYS exhibit through August 30, 2013. The exhibition of dinosaur fossils and castings was scheduled to end Saturday, August 3. The extension was made possible by funding from the Luella Kemper Trust, and the Thelma Braun & Bocklett Family Foundation. During August the museum will celebrate the four-week extension by lowering the admission fee to $4.00 dollars (6 years and up). Members, and children 5 years and under remain free.

 

“We are so pleased to continue the exhibit another four weeks,” noted Museum Director Dan Steelman. “We are fortunate to have these artifacts locally for the remainder of August; they are in high demand and have worldwide appeal. BUCKY, the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton will be leaving here and going to a museum in Hong Kong for a six month exhibition. I hope that the extension will give folks an opportunity to see  the dinos before they leave Texoma.”

 

The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition to the dinosaur skeletons and casts, visitors to DINO DAYS can view a 3-D dino documentary and search for fossils in the DINO DIG.

This year’s DINO DAYS 2013 exhibit broke attendance records set by last year’s DINO DAYS event, making it the museum’s most successful exhibition in the last decade.
