Зоологический музей Биолого-почвенного института НАН Киргизии, Natural history museum in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
The Zoological Museum of the Institute of Biology and Soil Science houses extensive collections of Central Asian animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects. The displays show the diverse wildlife of the region across multiple forms and species.
The museum was established in 1946 when the Central Museum of Local History was divided into separate Natural History and Historical museums. The collection subsequently developed into an important scientific center for zoological research in the region.
The museum shows how people here understand and study the wildlife of their region. The collections are used by scientists to learn more about Central Asian biodiversity.
The museum is located on Chui Avenue and is accessible to groups and school classes that can book guided tours on site. It is advisable to contact ahead to clarify the best time to visit and available information options.
The museum moved to the Central Scientific Library building in 2004 and has since combined its collections with research resources. This combination allows visitors to learn about the displayed animals in the context of current research.
