Rutlands Ichthyosaur Fossil: A £6M Museum Expansion
A colossal ichthyosaur fossil, discovered near Rutland Water, is set to become the centerpiece of a £6M museum expansion. The 180-million-year-old sea reptile, measuring ten meters, is the largest and most complete of its kind found in the UK. Anglian Water, the current owner, is nearing a deal to hand it over. The project includes digitizing the fossil and a nearby Roman mosaic for virtual displays. The expansion aims to boost tourism and highlight Rutlands history. The budget meeting will discuss allocations for museum upgrades, including a new gallery, cafe, and shop.
