How to Restore a Dinosaur

Join Rosie Baines, Deputy Park Manager, for an exclusive members-only talk on the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs, exploring their remarkable 172-year history and the ongoing efforts to conserve them.

Discover tales of stolen and lost teeth, changing paint colours, and evolving conservation approaches as these iconic Victorian sculptures have been repaired, restored and protected through generations of caretakers.

Drawing on archive photographs, historic records and original artefacts, Rosie will reveal how the dinosaurs have changed over time and what these fascinating sources can tell us about their past, present and future.
