Dr Cook Dorchester Lecture

Dorset County Museum

"During her talk on Ice Age art at Dorset County Museum on 5th December, Jill Cook will show some of the masterpieces from the exhibition such as the British Museum’s mammoth ivory sculpture of a pair of swimming reindeer, plus the oldest known sculptures, drawings and musical instruments from Europe. Far from being simple objects from a remote time, Jill will explain how these works of art are important clues about the evolution of our brains and the development of modern human societies".
