The State Darwin Museum is Russia's first museum of evolution and one of the largest in Moscow. It occupies two buildings and presents the development of life on Earth in a popular, interactive format, accessible even to young children. The museum was founded in 1907 by Professor Alexander Kots. From a small educational collection, it has grown into a vibrant landmark of the capital and a unique collection of rarities, comprising over 400,000 exhibits.
The Darwin Museum boasts the world's largest collection of birds and animals with unique coloring, rare zoological volumes, and skeletons and taxidermy of birds extinct for centuries. It is distinguished by a combination of classical exhibitions and modern technologies that bring extinct species to life. These include interactive experiences, augmented reality, digital guides, gamification, and much more.
