Hunterian Museum
Opened in 1807, this is Glasgow's oldest museum, in the main Glasgow University buildings 2 miles (3km) west of the heart of the city. The museum is named after William Hunter, its early benefactor, who donated his private collections to get the museum going. The collection is wide-ranging, from dinosaur fossils to coins to relics of the Roman occupation and plunder by the Vikings. The story of Captain Cook's voyages is pieced together in ethnographic material from the South Seas. The museum has a bookstall and an 18th-century-style coffeehouse.
