Dippy On Tour - A Natural History Adventure

It is a given when you venture into a Cathedral as stunning as the one we have here in Norwich that you expect to go back in time, to see historic monuments and artefacts. However this summer The Natural History Museum invites you to go way, way back, 150 million years in fact. Dippy has finally arrived to NR1 after a year long delay (for obvious reasons) - however I can assure you the wait has totally been worth it. 

An immersive experience for all ages, Dippy On Tour allows you to discover the story of the Diplodocus (pronounced  "DIP-lo-DOH-cus" says resident expert and volunteer Nigel) one of the largest creatures to ever roam the earth.  Naturally Dippy him or herself is the main attraction ( at 26 meters long how could it not be) but do make sure you take your time, because along the way there are some fantastic additions to the story. 

Artist Mark Reed invites you to walk through a wave of fish with his stunning ‘Your Waves Go Over Me’ installation. Do study the complexity of each piece, they really are unique if you look close enough. 

Norwich School students and pupils from other local schools have created a special installation to help you step back into the age of the dinosaurs. ‘Time Tunnel’ is a brilliant idea, really creative, and you can tell the students loved getting involved in the project. I found it fascinating. I was interested in the history but fell in love with the talent emanating from the exhibition.
