Undergraduate teaching...

The museum is a valuable resource in teaching the courses on biodiversity and evolution to undergraduates.

Students study taxonomic features on real life specimens aiding understanding of classification and adaptation, core principles of biological science.


School visits...

The museum inspires enthusiasm in aspiring young scientists (ages 6-15) who visit the university as part of the Schools Outreach program.

Children are encouraged to carry out detailed observations and think. The activities are enjoyed by both children and staff.
