There is indeed, but it's currently boarded up due to the roof works being carried out here. It should be back on public display by mid-February 2014.
Cheers,

The Museum of Natural History is closed to the public throughout 2013 to carry out much-needed roof repairs. Curatorial work and scientific research continue, and our Education team is running a targeted outreach programme. Please check our website for updates and special activities.
The Pitt Rivers Museum is open as normal throughout the closure.

Subject: Tyrannosaurus Rex skeletons
Hi all,
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know where I could find out how many complete replica T. Rex skeletons there are in UK museums?
We have one here in Newcastle, and the only other examples I'm aware of are at the NMS in Edinburgh and in Manchester.
Thanks,
Dan.
