Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo

It traces its roots to the University Botanical Garden, which was founded near Tøyen Manor in 1814.

Museums for zoology, botany and geology were added approximately a hundred years later, when the university campus in central Oslo had become too small for such purposes.

[3] For most of the twentieth century the museums and botanical garden were organized in five different entities; these were merged on 1 August 1999.

The Geological Museum contain research material of more than 2 million fossils, rock specimens and minerals.

Among the attractions is the Darwinius masillae fossil "Ida", a primate from the Eocene Epoch.
