Based at the University College London in a former Edwardian library, the Grant Zoology Museum is a natural history museum that holds one of the oldest natural history collections in the UK. Established in 1928 by Robert Edmond Grant as a zoological teaching institution, the museum is home to 67,000 specimens, including bones, fossils, and other remains of extinct creatures like Dodo skeletons, the zebra-like quagga that lived in South Africa, and a jar of moles. One of the main attractions at the museum is the Micrarium, a booth lined with illuminated microscope slides showing a variety of zoological specimens, and visitors can explore the distant evolutionary with modern technology such as iPads and smartphones.
