THE NATURAL HISTORY COLLECTIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH

What is it? A collection of zoological specimens for teaching and research that have been collected over three hundred years

History During the three hundred years that the Natural History museum in the University of Edinburgh has existed the successive collections have been split up by authorities and fought over by individuals

The Idea The conflict in the collections history would be an interesting point to include as well as showing some of the more interesting and unique exhibits

The Audience The locals of Edinburgh who haven't heard of it Tourists People interested in nature/ students
