Over 4000 zoological specimens are contained in this fascinating museum. Specimens are drawn from all across the globe, and include an extensive marine collection. Much attention is made at the museum to dissected specimens, showing visitors at first hand the diverse biology of our planet and its diverse inhabitants.

The Cole Museum of Zoology is located on the campus of the University of Oxford in England and is home to one of the largest collections of zoological specimens in the United Kingdom. The museum was founded in 1881 by George Rolleston, the then Regius Professor of Medicine at the University, and has since grown to include over 200,000 specimens, mainly of vertebrates, invertebrates and fossils. The collection includes specimens from all over the world, including those from the Galapagos Islands, the Great Barrier Reef and the Antarctic. The museum is open to the public and is a popular destination for school trips and family outings.

Visitors can explore the museum’s four galleries, which showcase the diversity of species on Earth, and learn about the evolution of different animal groups. There are also interactive displays, which allow visitors to explore the natural world through virtual reality and touch-screen technology. In addition to the galleries, the museum also has a library which contains a wide range of books on zoology, as well as a lecture theatre where lectures, seminars and workshops are held. The museum also holds regular events, such as lectures and exhibitions, which are designed to engage and educate the public about zoology and its importance.
