The Daily Mail says it is the only University of London animal museum in the city displaying a collection of animal kingdoms.
The museum was founded in 1828 by Robert Edmond Grant (1793-1874) for teaching at the newly established University of London. As a professor of animals and an anatomist in the UK, he began collecting specimens as soon as he worked at university, laying the foundations for today's massive collection of museums.
