The Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery is the oldest and one of most distinguished museums in Scotland. Part of the University of Glasgow, it consists of the Hunterian Museum, the Mackintosh House, the Hunterian Art Gallery, the Anatomy Museum, and the Zoology Museum. They are spread out around the University campus. When it was first opened in 1807, the Hunterian collection moved to the University's present site in Sir George Gilbert Scott's neo-Gothic building.
Scottish scientist and anatomist William Hunter donated the collection and the money to build the museum. The diverse and eclectic collection he had accumulated throughout his life consists of coins, minerals, ethnographic materials, paintings, prints, books, manuscripts, insects, other biological specimens, and a superb collection of geological, zoological, anatomical, archaeological, ethnographic, and scientific instrument.
