This elegant sculptural form provides secure access to the Grade I-listed dinosaurs in Crystal Palace Park, a historic site that is on the national 鈥楬eritage At Risk鈥� Register. The laser-cut bridge references the iconography of a bony fish, providing access for maintenance, conservation and study visits, negating the need for unsightly gates and fences around the dinosaurs. For over 10 years, charity Friends of Crystal Palace Dinosaurs,聽 鈥� led by taxonomist and evolutionary biologist Ellinor Michel 鈥� has been working hard to improve public engagement with and the safe keeping of these world-renowned, life-size sculptures.
