Brick Dinos exhibition to open at the Horniman Museum and Gardens in February
New for February half term at the Horniman Museum and Gardens is the Brick Dinos exhibition.
A new LEGO® model of a Polacanthus, an armoured 125-million-year-old dinosaur found in the UK, will be on show for the first time as part of the Brick Dinos exhibition, coming to the Horniman Museum and Gardens in south London in February 2023.

A herbivore from the early Cretaceous Period, the Polacanthus – meaning ‘many spines’ – is the newest highlight of this family-friendly exhibition featuring more than 20 dinosaur species, recreated by artist Warren Elsmore and his team using hundreds of thousands of LEGO® bricks. The Polacanthus model, at 1.5m long, is recreated at about a third of its true size.
The Brick Dinos on display include some of the largest beasts to ever walk the earth, recreated in miniature form, alongside large models including a plesiosaur, a life-size flying pterosaur and a fearsome Masiakasaurus. Young visitors to the exhibition can also enjoy building their own dinosaur, digging for fossils and dressing up as prehistoric creatures.
The exhibition also includes rarely seen specimens from the Horniman’s collection, including a replica skull of a Nanotyrannus (meaning ‘dwarf tyrant’) – a smaller relative of T. rex, and real fossil material from Ichthyosaurus to Iguanodon.
Location: Horniman Museum and Gardens, 100 London Rd, London SE23 3PQ. Date: 10 February – 29 October 2023. Price: from £5/10 Child/Adult.
Engagement ring shopping used to mean one option: a diamond from a mine. That's no longer true, and it hasn't been for a while. Lab-grown diamonds, colored gemstones, recycled gold and traceable sourcing have quietly rewritten the rules, and most people looking for a ring today have no idea how much choice they actually have…
Every season brings its own jewellery mood, and autumn/winter 2026 has arrived with real confidence. The UK's style editors agree: after seasons of restraint, there is fresh appetite for glamour — but a grown-up, considered kind, built around silver, sculptural shapes and pieces that mean something. Here is the edit worth knowing, and how to wear it.
A restaurant's menu changes with the season, but the photography budget rarely changes with it, which leaves food stylists and content creators constantly trying to keep visuals current with far less time and money than the job actually requires.

There is no doubt the temporary loan of the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum is the once-in-a-lifetime experience to rule them all. Meticulously stitched by hand by talented women, the embroidery has never returned to English soil in over 900 years since its creation around the 1070s. Although many worried for its fragile condition, visitors lucky enough to bag the £33 ticket…

A key engine within the Surrealist movement was the collaborative nature between artists.
