About this deal
It’s a brilliant opportunity for the Herbert, but with how much footfall it will bring, it’s also a huge opportunity for Coventry and the wider economy. Marguerite Nugent, CV Life Director of Culture, said: “We are excited to be welcoming Dippy to the Herbert very soon and look forward to giving as many people as possible the opportunity to see the famous dinosaur in person. These family-friendly talks will last approximately 20 minutes, in a relaxed and informal environment. The full skeleton in its displayed pose is 26 metres long, 4.3 metres wide and 4.17 metres high. The Herbert Art Gallery & Museum has undergone major refurbishment

Dippy the dinosaur is a life-size, plaster-of-paris replica of a Diplodocus carnegii skeleton. It became the first Diplodocus to go on display anywhere in the world when it was gifted to the Natural History Museum by Andrew Carnegie on 12 May 1905. Amigurumi is inspired by Japan’s ‘kawaii’ culture. The main distinction here is that amigurumi is more than just crocheting. Crochet or amigurumi are two options. Furthermore, amigurumi is all about creating collectibles and keepsakes, such as a cute T-Rex amigurumi!
Not only is this a thrilling opportunity for visitors to learn about natural history, but it is also expected to bring more tourists to the city and have a positive impact on the local economy. The best part of it all is that it is free to visit!”T-rex is the king of all dinosaurs and hearts when you stitch out this majestic creature on all of your prehistoric projects! You can attach it to a blanket, but I think this “ferocious” little guy is the perfect touch for your little one’s outfit. Not too baby-ish, not too scary!
