Grant Museum Of Zoology And Comparative Anatomy, University College London, England, United Kingdom

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. On his death Grant left his own collection to the museum. In 1875 Edwin Ray Lankester added to the museum collection. Later lecturer curators include W. F. R. Weldon (1860–1906), Edward Alfred Minchin, an embryologist named J. P. Hill and a palaeontologist named D. M. S. Watson. After 1948 the museum was under the care of professional curators.
The museum conserves around 67,000 specimens, many of which are very rare and several of which have been rediscovered only recently in storage.
In 2011, the museum moved from its previous location on the UCL campus to new quarters in Rockefeller Hall.
