Meet one of the real stars of Weston Park Museum.

 

At home in the What on Earth! gallery, Spike has been delighting visitors to the museum for many years. He’s a lifelike replica of a woolly rhinoceros, a large mammal that lived in Britain during the last Ice Age, up to around 10,000 years ago. Top tip – Spike loves to be in a #museumselfie.
