Paleontological Museum

The history of the Paleontological Museum is closely connected with the name of Academician IG Pidoplichko, who in December 1935 created the first small paleontological exposition in the Zoological Museum. The collection of fossil materials for it began to be collected during the founding of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in 1919. The formation of the Ukrainian National Paleontological Museum was facilitated by prominent scientists: Academicians OO Borysyak, AM Kryshtofovych, YO Orlov, Corresponding Member V. Zvirozomb-Zubovsky, professors OO Brauner, MM Burchak-Abramovich, KK Florov and others.
