A number of rooms display a fine collection of fossils, a living beehive and British wildlife galleries.

Natural Sciences

The Geology Room exhibits British fossils, many from the south-east region and Essex, and features a small but fine collection of rocks and minerals.  The larger fossil collections are rich in Jurassic, Cretaceous, Eocene, Pliocene and Pleistocene material.

There are also two British Wildlife galleries to visit displaying taxidermy mounts of large numbers of British birds, some rare, along with mammals and vertebrates. 

In between the two rooms there is a living honeybee observation hive - see if you can spot the Queen!                                                       

In addition, the Museum keeps important research collections and has many other materials on display.
