With the news that the Natural History Museum (NHM) has surpassed the British Museum in visitor numbers (seven million as opposed to six million a year) a new focus on the collection of dinosaur fossils and models has started. Many of the dinosaur models were gifts from Andrew Carnegie, who was born in Scotland and never forgot his British roots. They include the model of a Diplodocus (‘Dippy’) which used to be seen as you entered the NHM.
