  National History Museum
The three oldest and most important natural history museums are the Zoological, Geological and Botanical museums belonging under Copenhagen University, all of which play a part in undergraduate teaching. The first two have a mixed 200-300-year history and originated through an amalgamation of the university collections and various private collections.
Other natural history museums are the state-owned Jagt- og Skovbrugsmuseum (Museum of Hunting and Forestry) in Hørsholm (1942), the local authority Zoologisk Museum (Zoological Museum) in Svendborg (1935) and the geological museums of Gram, Fur and Fakse.
