State Darwin Museum?Why this museumThe oldest museum of evolution in Russia, built around an idea rather than around a case of stuffed animals: Kots collected proofs of variability, and the display serves the proof. It cannot match Vienna or Berlin for material, but its way of arguing stands on its own.

4+With childrenThe best museum in Moscow for pre-schoolers: mounted animals, models, hands-on halls. From 4 to the early teens.wheelchairStep-free accessThe museum — step-free. Ramps, lifts between floors, accessible toilets, wheelchairs at the door.

Getting there — step-free. Akademicheskaya has no lift and is 700 m away. There is parking and low-floor buses along Vavilova. Moscow metro stations almost never have lifts to the platform, except on the Big Circle line and the MCC. A wheelchair user is better served by the surface buses, which are low-floor across the centre.
2 hours
What to see

Early 20th-century taxidermy by Filipp Fedulov, among the finest anywhere; the collection of albinos and melanists gathered by Kots as visible proof of variability; the Living Planet hall.

Minimum route — 2 hours на самое важное

Second floor — Stages in the Knowledge of Living Nature with the historic taxidermy groups; third — Zoogeography and the case of variability with the albinos. Finish with Living Planet.

Reference

The oldest museum of evolution in Russia, founded in 1907 by Alexander Kots, who began collecting as a student and gave the museum to the state together with his own collection. About 400,000 items.

The building. Built for the museum in 1974–1995; the exhibition wing added in 2007.

Good to know. The museum was built to demonstrate one idea — evolution — and the display serves that idea rather than systematics. That is rare, and it is what sets it apart from ordinary natural history museums.
