The Natural History Museum is seeking a new partner to host their iconic diplodocus cast, Dippy, for a long-term loan.
Dippy is available to loan from 2023. The Museum is encouraging venues with an indoor space big enough to house the Diplodocus cast to apply, telling the Natural History Museum how Dippy would benefit their audiences, venue and region.
Applicants do not have to be a traditional museum and requests from other publicly accessible spaces and institutes are welcome, as are organisations applying in partnership.
Apply before 15 July to be in with a chance of seeing Dippy in your region.
The loan is for an initial term of three years with the potential to extend for a following three years after a review.
