The Grant Museum
The Grant Museum is the only remaining university zoology museum in London and contains specimens from the whole of the animal kingdom. The collection dates from the 19th century and is still being added to. The collection contains a wide range of material including fluid preserved, pinned entomology, taxidermy, freeze-dried and skeletal specimens. Only 7% of the collection is on display but the rest of the collection is primarily available for use in research. The Grant Museum welcomes research enquiries and the collection is available for the research community for study and sampling. The Grant Museum is also an excellent resource for university groups who wish to use the material for teaching practicals. The museum website is: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/culture/grant-museum-zoology, with an online catalogue of specimens at http://gmzcat.museums.ucl.ac.uk/.
