Did you know?
Tucked away in the museum is a comfortable bench and reading area where visitors can browse through decades of shark-related newspaper articles and media reports, from the 1990s right through to today. #shark

When it's cold and rainy outside, there's nothing better than being warm and cosy inside the museum.
Today, Patsy treated us all to a delicious homemade pumpkin soup with crispy fresh bread the perfect meal for a winter's day.

A huge thank you to everyone who entered and supported the museum.

One of the things that makes the museum so special is the incredible people behind the stories and artefacts.

A huge thank you to good friend of Mark and major contributor to the museum, Peter Stephenson, who has donated some absolutely amazing sea snake skins #museum

What a fantastic day at the museum today.

We had 3 large groups through the museum with well over 60 visitors coming, it was amazing to see the place absolutely come alive with people exploring the exhibits, asking questions, and enjoying the stories behind the collection

Did you know at Rodney Fox & Mark Tozer’s Museum & Research Centre we’ve hidden shark facts, myths and “True or False” questions throughout the displays? 🦈
Did sharks exist before dinosaurs?
Can some sharks grow longer than a bus?
Do all sharks live in salt water? #museum

Thought we’d continue the theme of old movie posters at the museum with this classicSeakiller! 
“For the first time in any motion picture all of the incredibly dangerous action scenes have been filmed with real live sharks.

Who remembers the legendary SS Andrea Doria and the 1974 film Andrea Doria -74?
We’re lucky enough to have an original movie poster and artifacts from the wreck on display in the museum. This morning Mark was even chatting with Jen from DV Tenacious about the wreck.
