Dippy the dinosaur, who famously stood in the entrance hall of London’s Natural History Museum for decades, returns to its home in May after concluding a four-year-long tour across the UK.
About:
London’s 26-metre-long Dippy is a plaster cast replica of the fossilised bones of a diplodocus carnegii skeleton.
The original, also known as Dippy, is on display at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Museum of Natural History.
Dippy was the first Diplodocus to go on display anywhere in the world when it was gifted to the Museum in 1905.
The fossilised skeleton from which Dippy was cast was discovered in Wyoming in 1899.
Dippy is considered the most famous single dinosaur skeleton in the world.
