Palaeontologists Darren Withers @outfossiling (left) and Richard Forrest @richardforrest (right) visited us to see the ichthyosaur they donated now on display, and also to present some more bits of it to the museum! Bones from the skeleton continue to be discovered from the dig site. We'll add these to the display soon!

I spent the last two years working on the new Discovering Dinosaurs gallery at Wollaton Hall, which is now open.
Here's one of the display cases with a nesting Oviraptor skeleton on the top!

Finally! Our new Discovering Dinosaurs gallery opens to the public tomorrow, April 1st, at 11am!
This coincides with the launch of a new "pay once visit all year" entrance fee into Wollaton Hall. £15 per adult, children free (ages 0–15).
That provides unlimited access to the Nottingham Natural History Museum, including the new dinosaur displays, for 12 months.

Fossil lynx jaw and partial skull from Pleasley, Nottinghamshire, in the Nottingham Natural History Museum, Wollaton Hall @GeorgeTheGorilla. It’s a historical figured specimen, usually on display, but currently on loan to the University of Nottingham for analysis.
