TNU Zoological Museum, Zoological museum at Tavrida National University in Simferopol, Ukraine.
The TNU Zoological Museum displays animal specimens from different habitats, featuring both local and exotic species across multiple exhibition halls. The collections include mammals, birds, reptiles, and invertebrates with information panels describing their biological characteristics and natural behaviors.
The museum was established in 1965 as part of Tavrida National University to support biological research and teaching. Over the decades, the collection grew into a significant resource for scientific work in the region.
The museum organizes regular workshops and seminars for school psychologists, teachers, and students, contributing to regional educational development through scientific programs.
Visitors can explore the collections independently or join guided tours where staff members explain the diversity of animal life. Plan enough time to visit different exhibition halls and read the information panels.
The museum houses rare specimens of animals from the Black Sea region and the Caucasus that are difficult to find elsewhere. These region-specific collections offer insight into the natural diversity typical of Crimea's landscape and southern coast.
