Oxford University Museum of Natural History Oxford University Museum of Natural History was opened in 1860 and houses the University’s extensive scientific holdings of natural history, which are used for research, teaching, and public engagement with science. The holdings are currently organised into three collection areas: Earth, Life, and the library and archives. The Museum is ‘Designated’ by Arts Council England as having collections of national and international importance, and these comprise around 7 million specimens that are second in importance only to the national collections. The building, which is Grade 1-listed, is regarded as one of the finest examples of Victorian architecture in Britain, with its glass roof supported by iron columns, and internal decoration that has a strong association with the Pre-Raphaelite art movement. The Museum is one of the most visited science museums in the UK with over 800,000 visitors per year, including over 40,000 school visitors, making it the most popular non-national science museum in the UK and the second most visited university museum globally (behind Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum). The Museum places equity in science at the core of its ethos and is an Athena SWAN Silver Award holder. For more information about the museum, please visit: www.oumnh.ox.ac.uk.

The collections embodied within these departments are an essential part of the University’s wider nature and mission. They are part of its heritage as the country’s oldest University and now form a resource of national and international importance for teaching, research and cultural life; they also make a major contribution to the University’s outreach and access missions.
