Evolutionary Anthropology Collection

The collection curated by the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology consists of human and non-human primate skeletal remains from across the globe, but also fossils, hominin and hominoid casts, mummies, cadavers, and hair and skin samples. It currently comprises around 15'500 items from the last 120 years.

From 2025, selected objects from the collection will be on display in the permanent exhibition and in special exhibitions at the new Natural History Museum.
