The Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy is a natural history museum that is part of University College London in London, England. It was established by Robert Edmond Grant in 1828 as a teaching collection of zoological specimens and material for dissection. It is one of the oldest natural history collections in the UK, and is the last remaining university natural history museum in London.[1] Notable specimens and objects held by the museum include a rare quagga skeleton,[2] thylacine specimens,[1] dodo bones[3] and Blaschka glass models.[4]
