This museum is located within the prestigious Eton College and showcases a vast collection of over 1,500 specimens, including taxidermied animals, fossils, and minerals. The museum's exhibits are divided into several sections, including a gallery dedicated to British mammals, a dinosaur gallery featuring a 12-meter-long Iguanodon skeleton, and a collection of rare and exotic birds. The museum also features a hands-on discovery area where visitors can get up close and personal with natural history specimens, as well as a temporary exhibition space that hosts changing displays throughout the year.
An amazing small collection of artefacts, just a shame about such limited opening times.
Hidden gem in Eton! The museum is not big but full of exhibits. The display is well organised. Contents have covered different biology knowledge and explorers' adventure. It is a great place for kids and adults to learn! Sadly it is only open on Sunday afternoon but if you are going to Windsor Castle on Sunday (like I do), you can come before joining the service in St. George Chapel which is not open for visit on Sundays.
The museum is an integral part of the oldest non-stop functioning, most prestigious and most expensive college in the world. It is open to the public only once a week on Sundays from 2:30 pm to 5 pm. Entry is free of charge. However, I strongly suggest leaving a small donation of a couple of pounds if you can afford it. A great educational place for couples with kids. After all that is, where princes William and Harry studied natural history, whilst studying at Eton for 5 years.
Cute little museum with a surprisingly amount of pieces. Only open 3 hours a week on some Sundays - check on the Eton college website before going.
Small museum, extensive collection of British birds, but also other spiecies. No acces for buggies or wheelchairs you have to climb a curved staircase and then come out on an even curvier one. Good for older children. Very friendly staff.
I didn't really mind going around the museum, but it didn't have a cafe or an information centre. Even though you don't need to pay an admission fee, you just look at things from the ground floor and the 1st floor. I would genuinely recommend this place if you're just looking to save money and explore somewhere just to pass the time.
