The Zoology Museum cares for a wide range of material that is worldwide in scope and which covers the whole of the animal Kingdom, from protozoa to the great whales.

LINNAEUS:
A TERCENTENARY CELEBRATION OF THE LIFE AND SCIENTIFIC WORK OF THE FATHER OF TAXONOMY
May 23rd will mark the 300 year anniversary of the great Swedish biologist Carl von Linné, also known as Linnaeus. He is best remembered as a botanist and the founder of modern systems of naming living organisms.
Our Tercentenary exhibition is now open in the Zoology Museum Foyer. The exhibition looks at the life, scientific work and legacy of Linnaeus. The exhibition gives an historical perspective of Linnaeus, his contribution to the classification of living organisms and the naming of plants and animals. It will also consider Linnaeus’s other achievements, like that of his contribution to the field of chronobiology.
