Lizards in the Grant Museum

The Grant Museum is an excellent resource for university groups outside UCL who wish to use the material for teaching practicals. It is the only remaining natural history museum in the University of London and covers the whole of the animal kingdom.

Enquiries from academics and researchers who wish to gain access to the collection for study of particular specimens are also welcome.

View a searchable online catalogue of the specimens held by the Museum.
