Local vieillissant mais une visite étonnante au sein de l'université de Glasgow. Un petit musée (gratuit) avec des curiosités à voir.

It is good one and is part of the Glasgow university and collected by William Hunter.

A small but good zoology museum tucked away on the ground floor of the Graham Kerr building at Glasgow University. It is crammed full of skeletons and stuffed animals. There is a small children's area. Due to the preserved specimens, it does have a distinct smell, so it is not a great place to go if you have hyperosima. The museum is free to enter. To find the room that contains the museum, you go through the main entrance and up a few steps. On the right-hand side of the entrance parlour is a corridor. Go down this and turn left. That brings you to the museum. There are toilets, though they are rather narrow and have a glass window in the door. The glass is mainly frosted, but there is enough of a clear glass rim for the potential to make embarrassing eye contact. The building is wheelchair accessible using a ramp and a chairlift. The museum had a hard-surface wooden floor. There are no disabled toilets. There is free blue-badged parking.
