The Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences is the University of Camabridge's geology museum.

Among those belonging to the University of Cambridge it is the oldest: it was inaugurated on 1 March 1904 with a ceremony attended by King Edward VII.

The Museum stands out for the completeness and variety of its collection.

Inside there are about two million artifacts including stones, minerals and fossils that tell a historical period of four billion years. The collections dedicated to minerals include 40,000 to 55,000 samples from all over the world and more than 400 meteorite samples. Also included are minerals from Cornwall and Cumbria and samples from Binntal in Switzerland.

The collection of stones is called "Beagle", in honor of the ship on which Charles Darwin traveled for his voyage around the world. The collection contains about 2000 rocks and some fossils. The collection of igneous and metamorphic rocks is instead in honor of the famous petrologist Alfred Harker who dedicated most of his life to the cataloging of materials.

Inside the museum there is also the Sedgwick Museum Archive Collection:

Here are collected documents that describe the history and development of the Museum. In addition, the museum is also home to the Sedgwick Club, the oldest student-run geological society in the world.
