This Velociraptor Sculpture is Now in Plane View at Heathrow Terminal 5
Tuesday, January 30, 2018
A stainless steel dinosaur sculpture has gone on display at Heathrow Airport.
The artwork, by New Forest-based Michael Turner, is in a private gallery inside Terminal 5, which members of the public can enter even if they do not have a flight booked.
Turner, who once made a life-size gorilla acquired by chef Gordon Ramsay, created his Velociraptor from marine grade recycled metal.
The £45,000 work stands at 6ft 6in tall and nearly 12ft wide, and has been “delighting” passers-by.
T5 Gallery London Heathrow co-director Anne Aldridge said: “What I like about Mike’s pieces generally is that they are unusual ... the reception has been amazing.”
The Velociraptor will remain on display in the gallery until it is sold.
