A vast collection of specimens and diagrams that has special value to me as a Victorian scholar, as it demonstrates how many Victorian museums of natural history appeared. One experiences the sense of being smothered by the sheer number of exhibits displayed, a visual encyclopedia of knowledge collected from the most distant regions of the globe. Even if you have no interest in the history of museums, this is still a worthwhile collection of exhibits and models. Finding the museum is quite hard, and accessing it seems a bit awkward for one who is not a St Andrews student, but I recommend exploring it if you are in the town.

Very difficult to find and obviously term time opening hours. Tried to get here a couple of times and was defeated by poor signage, locked doors and various jobsworths... eventually made it inside and the exhibits were interesting and lots of stuffed animals, informative interpretive panels and lots of jars of formaldehyde objects.
