15 February: One of the oldest natural history collections in the country , founded in 1828, it is a testament to the British collectors of the Victorian age, including a Tasmanian tiger and a dodo.

Free entry with lots of good exhibits . Good to take a sketchbook here and spend the morning. The people are great to speak to. Small museum but lots to see.

Free entry . This lovely little museum lives off donations! For a small sum, you can sponsor an exhibit and they will put your name next to it. They also invite you to various events for members.

A real treasure. Fairly small, but great for an hour or so with the kids. Tip: there's no air-con, so avoid on really hot days.

The Micrarium is my favourite part of the museum ! So beautiful and inspiring!

Recently reopened after an extensive refurbishment, the Grant Museum of Zoology retains the atmosphere of a Victorian collector’s house. One grisly highlight is a series of bisected heads. Read more

A great collection of preserved animals, including some extinct species. Warning: prepared dead animals in formaldehyde. Might be considered "gross" by some.

Time Out London

The collection includes remains of many rare and extinct animals, such as a dodo and the skeleton of the zebra-like quagga, which was hunted out of existence in the 1880s. Read more
