What did Darwin collect here and on the Voyage of the Beagle, and what can these collections tell us about him and is ideas on evolution? Hear these stories and more on an expert guided tour around the Museum of Zoology.

Thirteen of our specimens are part of our artificial intelligence experiment, where you can chat to them by scanning a QR code next to the specimen, on your phone. You can ask anything you like! From a dodo to a brain coral or a cockroach - what would you like to know? Their answer might surprise you!

Our volunteer guides share their personal selection of fascinating stories about gender and sex in the animal world at the Museum of Zoology.
