The Wits University Zoology Museum is the only natural-history museum in Johannesburg. Specimens, which are beautifully displayed in teak cabinets, can be viewed closely. The museum, which turned 75 in 1997, contains the largest collection of embryological slides in the southern hemisphere, 40 000 in all, and the total collection exceeds 60 000 specimens.
