Info
Founded in 1860 as the centre for scientific study at the University of Oxford, the Museum of Natural History now holds the University’s internationally-significant collections of geological and zoological specimens, as well as substantial archival material. Housed in a stunning example of neo-Gothic architecture, the Museum’s growing collections underpin a broad programme of natural environment research, teaching and public engagement. Highlights in the collections include the only remaining tissue material of a Dodo, the oldest pinned insect in the world, and fossils of the first scientifically-described dinosaur, the Oxfordshire Megalosaurus.
