EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past and discover the wonders of the prehistoric world at the British Museum's New Fossil Mammal Gallery Pleistocene Section, opened in 1970. This poster invites visitors to explore the ancient realm of extinct animals, with a focus on the Giant Irish Elk. The Giant Irish Elk, also known as Megaloceros giganteus, was one of the largest deer species to have ever existed. This majestic creature, depicted in the poster, roamed Europe during the Pleistocene epoch, around 130,000 to 10,000 years ago. With antlers reaching up to 12 feet in width, this even-toed ungulate, belonging to the Artiodactyla order and the Cervidae family, was a true giant among its contemporaries. The British Museum's Fossil Mammal Gallery, a treasure trove of ancient history, showcases various fossils from the Cenozoic era, including the remains of this impressive creature. The gallery is home to numerous epitherian fossils, providing valuable insights into the evolution of mammals throughout the ages. The Giant Irish Elk, a fascinating example of the natural world's diversity and complexity, is a must-see exhibit for anyone with an interest in the natural sciences or ancient history. This poster, a snapshot of the past, invites us to marvel at the beauty and grandeur of a time long gone, and to appreciate the rich heritage that the British Museum's Fossil Mammal Gallery offers to us all. Join us on a journey through time and uncover the mysteries of the past at the British Museum's New Fossil Mammal Gallery Pleistocene Section. A visit to this extraordinary exhibition is an unforgettable experience that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the natural world and the creatures that once roamed our planet.
