Library description
The Hunterian Museum was designed by William Stark and opened at the University's High Street site in 1807. When the University moved to Gilmorehill in 1870, the museum and its collections were relocated to new premises in the Gilbert Scott Building.
The Hunterian Museum materials are now housed in the Univeristy's Archives and Special Collections and the Hunterian.
