University of New England Natural History Museum

Humans are natural collectors. Throughout time we have collected things to try to make sense of the world around us. Animals that intrigue us, items we don’t understand, objects that we perceive to be beautiful, quirky, dangerous, and different. The UNE Natural History Museum is a library of life; a place of activity, interaction and discovery. It serves as a reminder that there is no surrogate for real things. The most sophisticated computer graphics cannot replace the sense of wonder that comes with viewing the still remains of real animals, in all their extraordinary variety.

All visitors are welcome and entry is free.

Follow the signs for the University of New England posted on the New England Highway bypass, and enjoy free parking on campus (blue parking bays). The UNE Visitor Information and Security Centre is located on Elm Avenue.
