About
This is one of the oldest natural history museums in the world, split into a geology wing and a biology wing. The fossil hall holds Dippy, a Diplodocus cast that arrived in 1913, beside the Megatherium giant ground sloth and a replica of Lucy. The Biodiversity hall, signed in Spanish and English, has a 21-meter fin whale skeleton, an African elephant and extinct animals like the Tasmanian tiger.
