The Sedgwick Museum

Adam Sedgwick FRS (1785 - 1873)

The Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, opened in 1904, is the geology museum of the University of Cambridge in England. It is part of the Department of Earth Sciences and is located on the University's Downing Site in Downing Street, Central Cambridge, England.

The Sedgwick Museum houses a magnificent collection of fossil animals and plants of different geological ages from all over the world.

I went to visit the Sedgwick Museum when I was on holiday with my mum who lives in Cambridge.

Adam Sedgwick (22 March 1785 – 27 January 1873) was one of the founders of modern geology whom the museum is named after.
