Rejected petition Don't Touch My Dippy

More details

The Natural History museum is intending to remove the iconic replica skeleton of a diplodocus that currently resides in the great hall, affectionately referred to as 'Dippy', to replace it with the skeleton of a blue whale.

This skeleton is synonymous with the museum for many and should remain in place for future generations.
