Museum of Natural History, Natural history museum in Lviv Raion, Ukraine.
The Museum of Natural History is a scientific institution in Lviv with collections focused on rocks, fossils, and animals from the region. The displays show these objects across multiple rooms and teach visitors about the geological history and wildlife of Western Ukraine.
The institution was founded in 1830 and ranks among the oldest scientific facilities in Western Ukraine. It has served as a major center for natural sciences education and research in the region ever since.
