The Natural History Museum has launched its sustainable 2024 Christmas jumper with the help of an animatronic Tyrannosaurus rex.

The move marks the launch of the museum’s festive knitwear and Christmas range, with this year’s jumper created using 100% sustainable organic cotton.

Pictures on Tuesday showed the festive carnivore being dressed in a Santa hat as well as a dino-sized Christmas knit.

“All proceeds from our Christmas range, including our Christmas knitwear, will continue to support our world-leading scientific research and public programming.”

The museum’s winter woolie collection has been created by notjust, an ethical clothing manufacturer based in Manchester.
