HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 August 2024 – Hard on the heels of Sotheby’s Maison opening at LANDMARK CHATER, Sotheby’s and LANDMARK today joined forces to unveil the exhibition of a 12,000-year-old, 3.5-metre-tall, monumental woolly mammoth. Marking Hong Kong’s first-ever public display of a mammoth skeleton of this scale in the heart of the city, the exhibition at LANDMARK ATRIUM of this pre-historic marvel from 15 to 29 August is poised to send ripples of wonder and curiosity throughout the community.
A stone’s throw away, on the first floor of its Maison at LANDMARK CHATER and lodged with its Salons – Sotheby’s curated retail offering spanning hundreds of objects and 80 million years of history – visitors can also see two other spectacular specimens.
These entail a spectacular prehistoric woolly mammoth skull from the Quaternary period (2.6 million years old) from Siberia and a Gryposaurus (a Juvenile Gryposaur) from the Late Cretaceous period (100 million to 66 million years ago).
