Zoology Museum, Zoological museum at University of Oslo, Norway
The Zoology Museum at the University of Oslo is a research institution housing large collections of animal specimens and habitats. Its displays show species in their ecological contexts through detailed exhibition environments.
The museum was founded in the early 19th century as a scientific archive. Its collections began documenting animal and plant life from that period onward.
The collections reflect how people have documented and studied animal life over time. Visitors encounter displays that show relationships between species and how knowledge about nature has grown.
Access is through the University of Oslo campus where visiting hours vary by season. Plan to allow enough time to move through the different galleries and exhibition areas at your own pace.
The collection includes specimens of animal species that no longer live in Norwegian nature. These older pieces allow researchers to track changes in wildlife and habitats over generations.
