The Natural History Museum are to screen Jurassic Park in the shadow of much-loved Dippy the diplodocus.

The museum have teamed up with the Rooftop Film Club to screen the 1993 box-office smash on Tuesday December 13.

Guests will be treated to a private view of the dino walk, which heads through the mammals and dinosaur gallery, before making their way to the entrance hall to enjoy the screening while seated next to the 83ft-long dinosaur frame.

The event will be one of the final chances to see the iconic Dippy in the museum, as it’s set to be removed in early 2017, when it will head off on a world tour.

The sculpture, built out of 356 plaster cast ‘bones’, first arrived in its South Kensington home in 1905 after King Edward VI saw an illustration of the original skeleton when it was unearthed in Wyoming in 1898, and asked for a copy to be constructed.

Tickets cost £32 - 35, include free popcorn, and are on sale now. For more information, visit eventbrite.co.uk.
