The Lapworth turns the campus into a useful museum outing in its own right. Specimens connect the distant past with the geology of the Midlands, while displays range from prehistoric life to mineral forms and earthquakes. It offers families and curious adults a compact science visit, distinct from both the wider university grounds and Thinktank’s technology collections.
