Meet SpongeBob and Squidward’s “extended family” and imagine Prehistoric Bikini Bottom through our museum collections! We’ll explore examples of marine communities extending more than 500 million years in the past, and Dr. Austin Hendy will help us go back in time to imagine what a Prehistoric Bikini Bottom might have looked like. Discover the ever-changing cast of prehistoric characters and dive into their ancient environments!
