Eton Natural History Museum

Highlight • Monument

More than 16,000 specimens and displays are housed at the museum, exploring themes including Thames Valley wildlife, biodiversity, evolution, and ecology. The museum was first created to house the Thackeray Collection of British Birds. It opened in 1875 and 20 years later moved to its present site.

Unique exhibits include a rare surviving page from Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species and material relating to famous botanist and Old Etonian Sir Joseph Banks, who sailed on HMB Endeavour with Captain Cook. There are also extensive collections of insects (mainly butterflies and moths), the William Hincks Herbarium, a full set of Banks’ Florilegium, fossils and birds’ eggs.

Eton College Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

There are so many historic buildings in Eton, all part of the famous Eton College school, dating back many centuries. Probably the grandest is Eton College Chapel, more like a Cathedral than a school chapel! On occasions the public can attend musical events inside. The whole area around the top of the High Street is well worth a stroll on a summer day.
