About the Zoological Museum (Saint Petersburg)

The Zoological Museum is part of the Zoological Institute, which sits within the Russian Academy of Sciences, and it is devoted to zoology. It stands in Saint Petersburg, Russia, on the Universitetskaya Embankment, and counts among the ten largest natural history museums anywhere in the world. Its specimens came from Peter the Great's Kunstkamera, and in 1724 the museum joined the Russian Academy of Sciences.

In 1832 the zoological collection was separated from the Kunstkamera, and in 1896 it moved nearby to its present location: the one-time southern warehouse of the city's bourse, a building put up from 1826 to 1832. The Zoological Institute was created inside the Academy of Sciences in 1931, with the museum placed under it.

The front hall holds Karl Ernst von Baer's monument, skeletons of cetaceans that include a blue whale 27 m (89 ft) long, and mounted pinnipeds. The entomological collection is displayed in the gallery above. A long passage runs through the second and third halls, with systematic collections and dioramas from the early 20th century: fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and invertebrates in the second, and mammals such as woolly mammoths in the third.
