About Us
The Museum has the privilege of caring for an internationally significant geological collection, and the benefit of an outstanding team of staff and volunteers. Our position at the intersection between the scholarship of the University and our wider audiences and communities enables the Museum to bring people together to stimulate learning, knowledge-sharing, discussion and debate about the extraordinary history of the Earth, life, the environment and the challenges facing society.
We want the Museum to be enjoyable, fun and a place for everyone, and we embed compassion, kindness, inspiration, respect, honesty, inclusivity and a welcoming approach in all we do. We are about the present and future as much as the past. Our aspiration is to build understanding of the vital role of Earth science in a global sustainable future, to stimulate curiosity and to inspire and empower the next generation of scientists.
