As much as we’re all desperately missing Dippy the Dinosaur, today marks the day that we welcome his replacement, Hope the Whale, to the Natural History Museum‘s Hintze Hall.
This morning (July 14th), after months of anticipation, the Natural History Museum is finally unveiling Hope the Whale – the magnificent, massive, 82ft blue whale skeleton. ‘Hope’ will hang dramatically from the ceiling with her mouth wide open as if she’s swallowing visitors as they explore the Hintze Hall. (See our London museum guide.)
Find the Natural History Museum on Cromwell Road, near South Kensington station, SW7 5BD. It’s open daily from 10am – 5.50pm.
