Freedom Of Information, The Natural History Museum

Dear Mr Keane,

I am writing regarding your request for information on the valuation of the animatronic dinosaur on permanent display at the Natural History Museum.

The Museum does not regularly value display props such as the animatronic dinosaur, as a national museum items such as these cannot be insured whilst on the Museum's premises. The dinosaur which has been on display since 2001 does not have a value on our asset register and has a nil book value as it would be fully depreciated.

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of the date of receipt of this response to your original email and should be addressed to me. If you are dissatisfied with the outcome or the conduct of the Museum’s internal review, you may seek an independent review from the Information Commissioner. You can report your concern via the ICO website at https://ico.org.uk/concerns or call their helpline 0303 123 1113.

Yours sincerely,

Ruth Benny
