The ever popular and iconic Dippy the Diplodocus that graced the entrance hall of the Natural History Museum in London goes on a UK tour in 2018 and 201, starting at the Dorset County Museum in Dorchester.
Dippy will be on show from Sat 10th Feb to Monday 7th May 2018.
Transporting and reassembling the 21m plaster of Paris replica is no mean achievement...and it only just fit into the Dorchester Museum's Victoria Hall
