Dippy Returns (to 2 Jan 2023)
‘Dippy’ was gifted to the museum in 1905 and was the first diplodocus to go on display anywhere in the world. He left the museum in 2017 to go on a tour of the UK. Throughout his time away, Dippy witnessed the changing state of the natural world and the beauty of various landscapes. Experience Dippy’s ‘memories’ of the trip with this free exhibition.
