In February, Dippy the Diplodocus made the journey to Coventry and their new home for the next three years in the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum.

We speak to Cllr David Welsh, Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities at Coventry City Council to discuss how Dippy the Dinosaur fits in the city’s approach to arts and museums and the vision of bringing world-class exhibitions to the city whilst also celebrating the culture of local communities.

Cllr Welsh talks about how Coventry celebrates and promotes local culture, how local creatives can get in touch to share their ideas, and gives an update on the progress of the former IKEA building.

Ali Wells, Curator at Herbert Art Gallery and Museum then shares the excitement of Dippy coming to Coventry, how the Herbert applied to be the home for Dippy for the next three years, and some of the ideas that the museum has to accompany Dippy itself with workshops and exhibitions.

Finally, Lorraine Cornish, the National History Museum’s Head of Conservation and resident Dippy expert tell us about Dippy’s background, what makes Dippy so special, and shares her thoughts on Coventry as a place of culture and history.
