Described as a cathedral to nature, this beautiful Neo-Romanesque Victorian building houses some of the earliest dinosaurs discovered in the 19th c. by Gideon Mantell, William Buckland and almost complete Stegosaurus skeleton. It also holds many of the marine reptiles found by the pioneering fossil huntress Mary Anning and animal and plant specimen collected by Charles Darwin during his voyage of the Beagle. The museum’s founder Richard Owen coined the term Dinosaur.

A visit to this remarkable museum is an opportunity to admire the animal kingdom’s diversity and beauty and understand the processes that lead to such diversity around the Earth.

The collection also covers geology and minerals.
