About That Little Museum
That Little Museum was founded by Nicole Williams in 2023 and is located in Essex, United Kingdom.
Nicole's passion for the natural world lead her to collect many different specimens from when she was a child all the way though to adulthood. You can read about Nicole here.
Here at That Little Museum, we are the proud owners of hundreds of different specimens from a wide range of categories from all over the world.
From parts of animals including furs, nails, teeth, feathers, eggs to bugs, gemstones, rare coins, shells and of course our collection of taxidermy.
We are proud to say that our specimens are ethnically sourced or donated to us, we would never let an animal lose its life or harm it for it to sit in our museum.
You can read more on our specimen sourcing policy here.
Our mission is to educate people and put our specimens to good use to teach people about our natural world.
Zoo's, private owners, rescue centres and collectors up and down the country have donated us specimens and we are so grateful to them
We are a private museum so not open to the public but we show off our specimens across our social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X and YouTube but you never know one day we may open our doors and you could come and see these beautiful specimens for yourself.
We support animals conservation as we will go into detail more with you soon but one animal we are passionate about saving is the stunning Amur Leopard with just 100 left in the wild it’s important that we act now to save the most beautiful animal on earth!
In February 2024 we became the first museum worldwide to own a Naja Katiensis snake skin.
This specimen is ultra rare as the shed from this snake came from the only people in the world to own this snake.
A few years ago a rock was imported into the UK and 5 babies were found sleeping inside the import. They where sent to the zoo who donated us this specimen and they are attempting to breed them. So it's only them and That Little Museum who have this shed in their collection and we are so proud of this.
