A view from 1861 of the new Oxford University Museum. Prior to its establishment, the university's collection of anatomical and natural history specimens were spread around the city, as were the facilities for teaching. Regius Professor of Medicine, Sir Henry Acland, initiated the construction of the museum between 1855 and 1860, to bring together all the aspects of science around a central display area.
