Drumheller the Acrostisaurus
The Royal Tyrrell Museum
Dinosaur displays from every era. Fossils and exhibits that will scare ya.
Remembering an Alberta from the past, before Dinos extinction and the big blast.
Understanding the beings that came before us, in the learning lounge so many things to discuss.
Majority of their fossils found in Alberta for displays. You could relax in the Cretaceous gardens if you choose to stay.
Hall of the dinosaurs where they stand among us, with a life-sized display of Tyrannosaurus.
Exhibit Triassic Giant, it has the world’s largest marine reptile. Shonisaurus is featured in this life-sized display with so much style.
Learn about Borealopelta, the best-preserved armoured dinosaur in the world. It’s discovery was in Fort McMurray, another great mystery unfurled.
Love of dinosaurs is so contagious, the displays here are simply outrageous.
Explore the world of palaeontology, make discoveries with new technology.
Research and recovery methods shown in the preparation lab. This museum is a great place for Dinos and humans to collab.

Bright red beet
The famous faux pas. Everyone makes one, and baulks afterwards. Of course, it leaves one at the height of discomfort. We do what humans do - make a myriad of mistakes. Admittedly, we can't avoid them, but we can make up for them with sincere apologies. We try to learn from these errors and move forward.

The Spring
The sun was high when Lance pulled off the road and into the dusty lot of the service station. The sign back at the hairpin--the first sign in a long time--said they just rolled into Hatter’s Creek, Population 63. It was small enough it didn’t appear on the handmap in Shelby’s lap, yet here it stood, the first backwater township on the fringes of the National Park. The plan was to gas up, restock the snack bag, and press on into the wilderness.

Cute rhyming acrostic!✅ The things I’m learning about Dinos.
I want to go there now!
Yes…I am so happy you wrote this. I love that place and this poem
Omgggg, I wanna go to that museum!! It sounds soooo cool! Also, not me Googling Acrostisaurus before I started reading the poem 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was like "Whoaaaa, what kinda dinosaur is that?!" when I saw your title hahahahahaha. There's a tiny typo in your Author's Notes, you've misspelled exhibit. Loved your poem so much D!
Great poem, Donna. I have been there a couple of times and it is a fab place. So many dinosaurs in Alberta. I remember the statue in the town too. You took me back. Thanks.
Awesome work!!
A lot of Dino info here. I would probably spend a lot of time in that museum.
I feel like we are all remembering our favourite museums now!
What a great idea to create an acrostic for the museum! Well done, Donna! There's a museum with active dig sites in Thermopolis, Wyoming that I'm anxious to revisit when we get back up there: https://wyomingdinosaurcenter.org/
