Alfred Denny Museum

Named after the department's first professor of biology, Alfred Denny, the museum was established in 1905 and has been used for undergraduate teaching for more than 100 years. Many of the specimens have been in the museum since the early 1900s when collecting was at its peak.

Artwork

You may have noticed some stylish bird transfers on the museum doors. These are the work of local artist  with whom we collaborated as part of the Festival of the Mind.
