Gothenburg Natural History Museum

Research

The museum’s scientific collections are regularly used by researchers and students from all over the world, either during visits to the museum or through loans. The museum is involved in a number of research projects in cooperation with various research groups, both nationally and internationally.

Loan of scientific material

Preparations and objects from our scientific collection are available on loan to scientific institutions to be used for research purposes. Here you will find information for researchers how to proceed.

Libraries

There is a reference library at the museum with nearly 80,000 books, most of which are about zoology. If you wish to use the literature for study purposes, you are welcome to contact us. When time allows, we will take out the books and allow you to study the material on site.
