Project to improve the University's Zoology Museum

Funding of £53,012 from the Museum Recognition Capital Fund will improve the displays of the Zoology Museum

The Zoology Building foyer is to be tidied and made into a more welcoming space, without compromising its function as the entrance to an academic building. Work will include new signage an an exhibition titled ‘Aberdeen Naturalists’.

The upper gallery of the museum will be tidied up and de-cluttered of cases, but the main focus of the project will be in the lower gallery.  This gallery is laid out in a taxonomic fashion pretty much as it was when it was completed in the 1970s. The project aims to leave the museum much as it is, except that the case layout will be tidied up with little organisational change, thought with an introductory display about evolutionary biology

There will also be improvements to the lighting of the galleries and display cases and strage to improve the care of the collection.
