The Central Soil Museum by V. V. Dokuchaev, Soil science museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Central Soil Museum contains 330 soil monoliths displaying different types of earth materials gathered from various global locations.
The museum opened its doors in 1904, one year after the death of Vasili Dokuchaev, who began collecting soil samples in 1880.
The institution serves as an educational center where visitors learn about soil composition, classification methods, and global distribution patterns.
Located in the Northern Warehouse of the Old Saint Petersburg Stock Exchange, the museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 17:00.
Scientists conduct yearly expeditions worldwide to collect new soil monoliths, expanding the museum collection from Arctic regions to New Zealand.
