Fern the Diplodocus is supported by Kusuma Trust
In the gardens of the Natural History Museum, a new resident stands tall over
the Jurassic vegetation.
Over the past four years, Structure Workshop has collaborated with scientists at
the Natural History Museum and Madrid-based art fabricators Factum Arte to design and make the world’s first and only post-tensioned bronze dinosaur. Based on Dippy, the Museum's famous and much-loved Diplodocus cast, the
new attraction is a free-standing, 25m long, life-size bronze dinosaur. Newly named Fern, it was officially unveiled in July 2024 in the revamped museum gardens as part of the Urban Nature Project, which has transformed the gardens into a biodiverse green space.
