Photos of Oxford University Museum of Natural History

The University Museum of Oxford University, which collects and displays natural history specimens, is located opposite Keber College, Oxford University, UK. The museum was founded by geologist John Phillips, one of the main skeptics of Darwin's theory of evolution. The museum's lecture hall, which was the site of the 1860 Oxford debate on evolution, is now part of the University's Department of Chemistry, Zoology and Mathematics. The biggest attraction here is the natural history collection of more than 5 million items, from strange insects and fossils to the gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton, which is dizzying. The museum is more famous for the most complete specimen of a dodo in the world (Oxforddodo, a mysterious creature that has been extinct for more than 300 years), and the logo of the museum is also a dodo image.
