This museum is part of the University College London.
The Museum was founded by Robert Grant in 1827. A believer in evolution he was the first professor of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy in England. When he first started lecturing at the University of London he realised he needed some teaching materials and began to collect specimens which are still used today by students. Grant taught at the University from 1828 until his death in 1874.The dried heart of an elephant.
The museum is mainly used for research by the students of the university but is open at certain times for the public to have a look around.
