It traces its roots to the University Botanical Garden, which was founded near Tøyen Manor in 1814. Museums for zoology, botany and geology were added approximately a hundred years later, when the university campus in central Oslo had become too small for such purposes.[1][2] Major proponents were Waldemar Christofer Brøgger and Nordal Wille.[3] For most of the twentieth century the museums and botanical garden were organized in five different entities; these were merged on 1 August 1999. The current name dates from 2005.[2]

Among the attractions is the Darwinius masillae fossil "Ida", a primate from the Eocene Epoch.[4][5][6][7]
