Also a welcome free attraction operated by the university, the Zoological museum is just a brief walk from the city centre.

Combining exhibits from the university’s palaeontology museum, this attraction has skeletons and taxidermies for thousands of animal species, both alive and extinct.

Recently the museum has been made more family-friendly and immersive: You can hear the songs of 280 birds, and peer into microscopes to see insects’ most outlandish body parts.
