A lovely visit. Not huge but full of tiny bugs and fishes up to massive animals. Very informative and a worthy visit, skeletons, birds, beautiful beasties, spiders and allsorts
It is located right inside the Lecturer building, the same place where the students have they self study too
It is good one and is part of the Glasgow university and collected by William Hunter.
A small but good zoology museum tucked away on the ground floor of the Graham Kerr building at Glasgow University. It is crammed full of skeletons and stuffed animals. There is a small children's area. Due to the preserved specimens, it does have a distinct smell, so it is not a great place to go if you have hyperosima. The museum is free to enter. To find the room that contains the museum, you go through the main entrance and up a few steps. On the right-hand side of the entrance parlour is a corridor. Go down this and turn left. That brings you to the museum. There are toilets, though they are rather narrow and have a glass window in the door. The glass is mainly frosted, but there is enough of a clear glass rim for the potential to make embarrassing eye contact. The building is wheelchair accessible using a ramp and a chairlift. The museum had a hard-surface wooden floor. There are no disabled toilets. There is free blue-badged parking.
What an amazing museum complemented by the study space. Very informative for children and adults alike.
I love thé Zoology muséum. From its smell to the wonderful exhibits and facts surrounding some of the pieces. For what is quite a small space it is packed with interesting and incredible things. I visit fairly regularly as I don’t retain information very well so its great to learn and relearn about so many incredible creatures. You can find an app too that has some audio that describes a few of the pieces. I found it very interesting.
I’d rate this as one of the great hidden gems in Glasgow. A quiet museum to enjoy lovely zoology/animal collections with some peace and quiet. It was good to be in a place where the collections are well annotated and you can explore with minimal disturbance
I thought this was a really interesting museum, chock full of things in jars- a great place to take a biologist! It is free to enter and contains three areas of interesting things to see.
