The Oxford University Museum of Natural History, commonly referred to as the Oxford University Museum, showcases impressive collections of natural history specimens belonging to the University of Oxford, which were originally founded between 1855 and 1860. The museum's lovely neo-Gothic-style building was constructed by Irish architects Benjamin Woodward and Thomas Neweham Deane and is known for its iconic glass room and large square court space. Throughout its history, the museum has hosted important historical events such as the 1860 Oxford evolution debate and the world's first public demonstration of wireless telegraphy in 1894. Today, visitors can explore the museum for free and peruse earth science, paleontology, zoology, and entomology collections, including noted displays of dinosaurs and dodo birds.
