The Oxford
University Museum of Natural History houses the University's scientific
collections of zoological, entomological, geological, palaeontological and
mineralogical specimens, accumulated in the course of the last three
centuries. The exhibits occupy a large centre court with its elegant cast
iron columns supporting the great glass roof, and surrounded on four sides
by upper and lower arcades. They are devoted to the history and diversity of
life on Earth and the rocks and minerals that form it. What is not on public
display are huge reserve collections that are used for research and
teaching. These are organised into five Collections: Entomological,
Geological, Mineralogical, Palaeontological and Zoological, each one cared
for by a Curator and Assistant Curator.
