Video: Extinct Huia Birds in the D’Arcy Thompson Zoology Museum

While the University’s museums and galleries are temporarily closed due to the coronavirus emergency, we’re sharing more of our collections online. This is the latest in a series of films in which museum curator Matthew Jarron tells the stories behind some of our most interesting objects and artworks. In this video we look at a pair of extinct huia birds in our Zoology Museum. The video features images from our own collections as well as the University Archives and copyright-free images sourced online. You can hear the audio recording mentioned in the film at https://teara.govt.nz/en/speech/13672… and find out more about our collections at www.dundee.ac.uk/museum
