The Natural History Museum’s Diplodocus skeleton cast, known as Dippy, is installed at Dorset County Museum in Dorchester, the first stop on a UK tour.
Dippy the Diplodocus skeleton is setting out on a UK tour, starting in Dorchester on the aptly named Jurassic Coast.
The 26-metre recreation has been on display at the Natural History Museum in London since 1905, and will now take in museums and cathedrals in Birmingham, Belfast, Glasgow, Newcastle, Cardiff, Rochdale and Norwich.
