Grant Museum of Zoology

Description

One of London’s more unusual and delightful museums — noted for its playful approach to the serious matter of zoological studies.

Expect a huge collection of dead animals, from pickled worms to elephant skulls.

Notable is the Micrarium, a dramatic display of tiny insects, the glass jar of moles, which is a sort of local mascot, and the display of plastic dinosaurs, if you can find it.
