Welsh Wizard Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hi all Dippy the diplodocus is now at Cardiff Museum. I think 11 casts were made by Andrew Carnegie and one went to the NHM London in 1905. It’s now on a tour of the U.K. Nick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But NHML might notice one of its dinosaur are missing. It has been part of GB National treasures for a long time . I do hope when it returns to London they find a home for it because it’s space has been allocated to a blue whale skeleton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
