Oxford University Museum of Natural History

A Grade 1 listed building, renowned for its spectacular neo-Gothic architecture, The Oxford University Museum of Natural History houses the University's scientific collections of zoological, entomological and geological specimens.

The Museum's overall mission is to assemble, preserve, and exhibit the University's natural history collections and to promote research, teaching, and public education in the natural sciences based on the Museum's collections.

The Museum is an important centre for research and teaching, and is organised into four collections: entomology, geology, mineralogy and petrology, and zoology. It also houses several research libraries, and is home to an environmental archaeology unit.
