Dinosaur skeleton is disgraced at the British Museum

The Dippy Famous dinosaur bone will be abandoned from Museum of Natural History (UK) that was on display in the main hall over 35 years ago.
Since summer in 2017, the plaster dinosaur bone (often called Dippy) was donated to the museum of Natural History 109 years ago and will be replaced by the blue whale skeleton. Dinosaur bone is nearly 26 meters long displayed in the main hall of the museum during the last 35 years and welcomed many visitors


Tourist comes to the natural historical museum will no longer see this big skeleton in the main hall again.
People gave reason that dinosaur model was no longer suitable with today. However, dinosaur bones are not completely discarded, instead of it will be on display at the supplemental exhibition and attended tour around the UK or displayed again in another museum.

Dippy dinosaur skeleton was set up by 356 plaster bones within 18 months
When the decision was made, England People immediately refused because they have childhood associated with Dippy. Some expressed their indignation by using Twitter calling the help for skeleton. In addition, many people also signed on an online petition.

Many people see the Dippy skeleton as a soul item and they loved it so much. Michael Dixon_director of the museum, said: "This is a unique opportunity to restructure the museum hall. This action didn’t express that Dippy is worthless, but it was a symbol of museum”.
