The Durban Natural Science Museum is one of the largest collections of living things of the past and of the present. The museum, established in 1887, has a large collection of fossilized and displayed skeletons of even the extinct species. A visit to the Durban Natural Science Museum provides an encounter with life-size images of animals ranging from the Dodo to the Tyrannosaurus-Rex. The museum is a treasure island for the historian and the archaeologist. The authentic Egyptian mummy and the stuffed animals take the visitors to the era of the previous ages. The Durban Natural Science Museum is a valuable asset both in terms of research and entertainment.
