Next week, Dippy the dinosaur will finally arrive in Norwich. After being taken down from the ceiling of the Natural History Museum, the skeleton cast of the diplodocus was scheduled to begin an eight-stop tour taking in all four countries of the United Kingdom. Covid, however, forced a change in plans, but Norwich marks his final stop and you can see Dippy in the cathedral’s nave until 30 October. It is hoped that the display will spark conversations about science and religion and encourage people to think about the future of the planet. For more information - https://dippy.cathedral.org.uk/
It’s not the first time that Norwich Cathedral has engaged with a different visor experience. In 2019, a helter skelter was installed in the nave with the aim of getting visitors to engage with the building and better appreciate its renowned mediaeval roof bosses.
