The museum says that it is already 20% ahead of its visitor target for this year, with
Dippy still in the city until early October.
Caroline McDonald, manager at theGreat North Museum: Hancock, said: "We are delighted that
Dippy is proving a popular attraction in Newcastle and encourage everyone to come along and see
Dippy before he heads to Cardiff on October 6.
Jayne, 38, said: "We knew we wanted to get married in the museum but when we found out
Dippy was there, it was just the icing on the cake.
They and their guests then enjoyed a two-course wedding breakfast, featuring beef in Newcastle Brown Ale casserole in the Exhibition Space which is
Dippy's home during his stay.
Why hasn't Glasgow?" The demonstration started at the
Dippy exhibition at about 3pm and lasted for 20 minutes.
Dr Mike Simms was full of pride yesterday as the huge skeleton cast was unveiled in the Ulster Museum - the third of
Dippy's eight stops in a tour of the UK.
"I became interested in fossils when I was six, more than 50 years ago, and I met
Dippy in 1968 when I was seven and really from that moment I wanted to work in a museum."
National Museums NI chief Kathryn Thomson said: "
Dippy is finally here and we cannot wait for visitors to meet him."
DIPPY the dinosaur has helped boost visitor numbers at his latest stop on a nationwide tour, the Natural History Museum has said.
Dippy the Diplodocus, a 26-metre-long dinosaur skeleton cast, was famously on display in Hintze Hall of the Natural History Museum (NHM) in London from 1979 until January 2017.
