Dippy the Diplodocus is to spend another year in Coventry after the exhibit's residency in the city was extended due to its popularity, said organisers.
The 85ft-long ( 26 meters ) replica dinosaur skeleton arrived at Herbert Art Gallery and Museum in 2023, but now a three-year loan from London's Natural History Museum has been extended until 19 February 2027.
Museum heads said the "nation's favourite dinosaur" had captured the imagination of hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Coventry venue.
"Dippy has been a huge hit for visitors of all ages over the last three years", said Marguerite Nugent at CV Life, which manages the museum.
