Edinburgh

In Person

The Ashworth Labs were built in the late 1920s to house the University of Edinburgh’s Zoology Department. (Note the beautiful stone animal plaques on the exterior.) They now house part of the ever-expanding School of Biological Sciences at the University.

On Doors Open Day, the main teaching lab will host interactive family activities facilitated by our researchers, specimens from our natural history collection, and there will be the opportunity to visit the Manning Natural History Gallery.
