Our much-loved and iconic Diplodocus, affectionately known as Dippy, is a memorable welcome to visitors as they enter the Central Hall. This magnificent hall is at the heart of the Museum and begins a journey of natural discovery for nearly 5 million people each year. We would like to breathe new life into this space and showcase more star specimens.

Why we need your help
We require £8.5 million to complete the renovations to the Central Hall and we need your help to reach this target.
If you love the Museum and you want to make Dippy's home better, then this is a wonderful opportunity for you to show your support. Every donation will make a difference.
Our vision for Central Hall
We plan to transform the hall into an exhilarating and inspirational space that previews the wonders that lie ahead for visitors exploring the Museum.
