Set in an atmospheric Victorian building, it has been on its present site since 1895, and generations of students at Eton and from other local schools have enjoyed learning from its extensive and well-displayed collection. The collection continues to grow and it now houses over 17,000 objects, most of which are on display. Explore our varied collections and discover more about the natural world and its inhabitants.</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>A hidden treasure
