Creswell Crags Museum and Heritage Centre, in Nottinghamshire, tells the story of Britain's Ice Age through objects unearthed on site, including stone and bone tools and the remains of species that once inhabited Britain. Alongside the permanent collection, the museum hosts free special exhibitions on themes such as archaeology, art and wildlife, including a current display of mixed media paintings inspired by the mammal teeth collection, plus a look at recent excavation finds like a hyena tooth. It suits anyone curious about prehistory and archaeology. The café and wider visitor centre stay open even during works to the museum building.
