Tabriz Museum of Natural History

The Tabriz Museum of Natural History is an educational institution displaying extensive collections of taxidermy specimens including mammals, reptiles, birds, and aquatic animals from Iranian Azerbaijan. The exhibits feature wildlife native to the region and surrounding areas, offering visitors insight into local fauna.

Iran's Department of Environment founded this institution in 1993 with the goal of promoting education about regional wildlife and ecosystems. The museum was created as part of broader efforts to make natural science knowledge accessible to the public.

The museum serves as a learning hub for local schools, bringing students face-to-face with the animals and ecosystems they share with their region. It reflects how people in Tabriz connect with and understand the natural world around them.

The museum is centrally located in Tabriz and easy to find, with clear signage guiding visitors through the space. The exhibits are organized into distinct sections, making it simple to navigate and visit the areas that interest you most.

The museum features a dedicated section with dinosaur sculptures displayed alongside the preserved animal specimens. This combination of prehistoric and modern collections offers visitors a distinctive perspective on different periods of natural history.
