    Includes the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences - a major collection of fossils including a full-sized cast of an Iguanodon, several original icthyosaur and pleasiosaur specimens, and also has a shop. On the left hand side of the site as you enter from Downing Street, up the steps with stone bears at the base. On the right hand side is the museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, with historic anthropological exhibits from all over the world. Nearby on Free School Lane is the small Whipple Museum of scientific instruments.
