The State Museum of Natural History of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine is one of Europe's oldest natural history museums by the age of its scientific collections. It was founded in 1870 by the patron and naturalist Count Volodymyr Dzieduszycki and occupies his former palace at 18 Teatralna Street, an early-19th-century neoclassical building. The holdings number about 400,000 specimens: palaeontological collections from the Cambrian to the Quaternary, plus zoological, botanical, geological and mineralogical material. Its world-famous exhibits are the mummified mammoth and woolly rhinoceros found at Starunia - the only complete rhinoceros hide in Europe. The main building was under restoration from 1995 to 2012; today the museum welcomes visitors with exhibition projects.
