THE Manchester Museum is offering visitors the chance to get up close and personal with a dinosaur!

From 11am to 4pm this Saturday, Palaeo-artist Bob 'Bones' Nicholls wants children to help to paint his biggest, fastest dino-picture yet, and there will also be a chance to see one of the 'newest' ancient dinosaurs in the museum's collection.

Sessions are on a first come first served basis.
