Museum's dinosaurs are being WIPED OUT... by the sun light! Skeletons at risk of damage because new glass roof cannot protect against ultraviolet rays

Dinosaurs in Oxford are in danger of becoming extinct - because of the sun. Heat and exposure to ultra violet light is damaging the ancient stuffed animals and dinosaur skeletons (pictured). 


The roof underwent a 14-month extensive restoration project costing £2million in 2013, after a number of the specimens were damaged by rainwater and sunlight. During the restoration, more than 8,500 glass tiles were removed and resealed, but a layer of UV-protecting film that had become discoloured over the years was removed and not replaced.
