Darwin Museum

Darwin Museum

State Darwin Museum – a unique scientific and cultural institution with rare collections. Known not only in Russia, but also far beyond its borders. Located on the territory of Moscow, on the street. Vavilova, 57.

Founding Period

The idea to create a Darwin Museum in the Russian capital arose at the beginning of the last century from the biologist A.F. Kots. This researcher taught Darwin's theory in higher educational institutions. Later, he delivered to Moscow a visualization represented by extensive collections of stuffed animals.

For some time, these specimens valuable for science were located in the educational building. The Darwin Museum was founded in October 1907. At first, it occupied a modest area, and only in the summer of 1995 was moved to the building in which it functions now.

What can be seen in the Darwin Museum

Today, the Darwin Museum looks like a building of three floors, which adjoins a multi-storey exhibition complex with access to the roof. Inside there are numerous exhibits and samples that are directly related to the theory of evolution of Ch. Darwin.
