Woodstock Dreams in the Hall of Bones

Two visitors to the Natural History Museum in London admire the huge skeleton in the main hall.

The Natural History Museum’s most famous skeleton used to be “Dippy,” a diplodocus that dominated that main hall for 112 years. In 2017, it was replaced with a blue whale skeleton (which is what you see here). Dippy wasn’t actually a real skeleton though; it was a composite cast made from plaster and steel. The irony? For over a century, visitors thought they were seeing an actual dinosaur when they were really looking at a rather elaborate replica.

Govts often step in to keep valuable manuscripts and works of art as part of the national collections. The Irish govt should do the same for this iconic guitar and some of Rory Gallagher's other gear now up for auction.
