Megalosaurus 2008 Crystal Palace Dinosaur statues by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins in 1850s located in Crystal Palace, a suburb of London, UK. Lockdown cultures - Hove 2020 Lockdown cultures - Hove 2020 Flight of the Langoustine, by Pierre Diamantopoulo MRSS. It is made of four life-size bronze figures flying through a steel grid. It was inspired by a discarded and mangled lobster pot that the artist had found on Brighton beach. In his imagination, the washed-up object that had seemingly helped the lobsters escape, translated itself into a wider story of human exodus and release – a dash for freedom. Diamantopoulo describes the figures as “at once profound, frivolous and boisterous, occupying the air like a flock of birds and inspired by modern dance choreography”. Bronze casting at Milwyn Foundry and fabrication of the steel grid and assembly by Art Fabrications. The sculpture weighs 2.2 tonnes and measures approximately 3.5 metres high and 3 meters wide. Flight of the Langoustine was inaugurated on the Hove Plinth on 17 September 2023. westminster-abbey-floorplan-modified-from-hall-1966 Case 11 Introduction to Locomotion of Animals Evolution of Man Exhibit (cases 74ef) Labyrinthodon model after conservation 2026 Crystal Palace Park Case 60 Structure 2 Skulls Iguanodon on display in Sedgwick Museum of Geology Case 37 Survey of Animals exhibit in Natural History Gallery (balcony) in Horniman Museum, Forest Hill, London, UK
