- Pearson - Always LearningMay 10, 2013An amazing place to learn about zoology, and hosts specimens collected by Charles Darwin. The collection also includes a 70 foot finback whale skeleton!
- Museum building renamed in April 2016 in honour of Sir David Attenborough. Great skeleton of finback whale. Collections of Sir Busick Harwood and Charles Darwin.Upvoted Oct 17
P CDecember 29, 2015Lots of prehistoric mammal specimens. I think there's a stuffed Okapi (cousin of a Giraffe which most won't get to see cos they are so rare). Great place to bring the kids. Right in town.

"It's in town and free. Great place to learn about rocks n dinosaurs. Bring the kids. Just across the street from the zoology museum."

"While not as extensive as the bigger museums, the old-fashioned approach to displays and storytelling here feels unusual and interesting. Great for a quick visit (under an hour) for kids and adults."

"Another great collection of scientific artefacts and instruments. It's great to know how scientists and engineers did their work before the days of computers and satellites. Right in town."

"An incredible collection considering it's a University museum. I enjoyed it better than the Louvre. Beautiful buildings, well marked and described pieces. Not as crowded. Free entry!"

"Housed within the university’s Faculty of Music, the venue hosts frequent concerts, often by students. Expand your musical knowledge at one of their many events."
