Museum of Zoology, Zoological museum at University of Cambridge, England
The Cambridge University Museum of Zoology contains over 1.5 million specimens, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates from around the world.
The museum began in 1814 with the acquisition of the Harwood anatomy collection and expanded through contributions from naturalists like Charles Darwin and Leonard Jenyns.
The museum serves as a research center where students and scientists examine specimens to understand evolution, biodiversity, and animal classification systems.
Visitors can explore the museum Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 16:30 and Sundays from 12:00 to 16:30, with no admission fee required.
The museum houses specimens collected during significant 19th-century scientific expeditions, forming one of Britain's largest natural history collections outside London.
