Tracey the Triceratops: Her Journey with Extraordinary Objects Gallery
On the 9th of June in 2021, Green Street saw the long awaited arrival of the Extraordinary Objects’ Bisected Triceratops skull, Tracey, at the Gallery in Cambridge.
Weighing over 900 pounds in her crate, Tracey was slowly revealed to passers-by in the van she arrived in. After many hours unloading with a team of experts over the cobbled streets of Cambridge, she made it through the gallery doors.
