We regret to announce that the Museum of Zoology will be closed from 4.30pm on 17 March 2020.

In response to the impact of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), and to protect the health and well being of our staff, visitors and volunteers, we are closing the Museum temporarily. All public events have also been postponed or cancelled. 

Although the Museum is closed, we will still be communicating online, via our website and on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
We will continue to share stories, news and information about all things zoological, and we hope that you will share your animal related stories with us too.

We will be re-opening as soon as it is safe to do so, and look forward to welcoming you back at that time.  
Should you need to contact the team please email umzc@zoo.cam.ac.uk

Best Wishes
The Museum of Zoology Team
