The anatomically incorrect Victorian dinosaur sculptures in Crystal Palace Park have been fully restored as part of a multimillion pound regeneration scheme. The iconic London landmarks, which had fallen into disrepair, now return to their 1854 glory with original paint jobs and all.
Restoration Details
The sculptures, created in 1854, are known for their historical inaccuracies but remain a beloved eccentric feature of the park. The restoration project included repainting and structural repairs, ensuring the dinosaurs match their original appearance.
Visitor Experience
Visitors can also enjoy the new dinosaur-themed playground, which complements the restored sculptures. The park offers a unique glimpse into Victorian-era paleontology and public art.
