No bones about it - Britain in uproar over Dippy dinosaur move
One of Britain's most-loved museum exhibits, the skeleton-cast of Dippy the Diplodocus dinosaur at the Natural History Museum in London, is to be replaced, much to the distress of its many fans.
The museum announced on Thursday that Dippy, who has graced its cathedral-like central hall for 35 years, will make way for the bones of a blue whale that has been hanging in a different hall since 1938.

Dippy is great a real eye catcher and kids like dinosaurs, come on Dippy is a national icon.

Cannot the blue whale be suspended from the ceiling as are many of the larger as at he Ottowa museum for example. You'd be amazed what your two cents to a curator online will accomplish. All museums operate on profit and donations; and sometimes the tunnel-vi$ion is mi$guided. The site in question appears large enough heightwise to hang the one up high and so enjoy the both. Ottowa exhibit:

I don't see why not but as the building is Victorian there may be some red tape.

Red tape and a blue whale could make for some ....purple haze! Donate £5, join their little club, and make em think Green! You'll probably win the suggestion of the week award!

Either that or it could 'bring the house down'.
