The University of Glasgow's Hunterian Museum opened its doors in 1807 and is Scotland’s oldest public museum. It’s home to a superb collection of over a million items ranging from meteorites to mummies. A legacy of Dr William Hunter, a pioneering obstetrician and teacher, who bequeathed not only paintings to the university, but a superb coin collection, curiosities from Captain Cook's Voyages of Discovery and a library of thousands of books and manuscripts. Find out about dinosaurs, early man and how bodies were preserved as mummies in ancient Egypt. There’s also a wealth of information on the Romans in Scotland and the building of the Antonine Wall.
