Sarah Finney is responsible for the care of the Museum's 1.5 million objects. The skull in the foreground is from a hippopotamus found in Barrington gravel pits (just outside Cambridge) and is described as ''quite young'' at about 130,000 years old.

The Sedgwick Museum is named after Adam Sedgwick, who was an undergraduate and Fellow of Trinity College and is arguably one of the fathers of modern geology. The Museum has one of the largest rock collections in the United Kingdom including many specimens collected on the Beagle expedition by Charles Darwin, who was taught by Sedgwick.
