Established in 1952 through the efforts of students and faculty at the biology faculty, this museum boasts a collection exclusively gathered from expeditions organized by the faculty. Graduates of the program, who later gained recognition as biologists, contributed significantly to the exhibits.

Specialists in the field brought and meticulously prepared animals, fish, and birds from various corners of the world for the museum. The collection also features an impressive array of reptiles, birds, and mammals indigenous to the Republic of Moldova.

A truly exceptional specimen in the collection, unparalleled worldwide, is a 2-day-old baby sperm whale. Additionally, the museum showcases the skeletal vertebrae of a 28-meter-long blue whale and the jawbone of an adult sperm whale.

Presently, the museum’s collection comprises over 10,000 exhibits, many of which are unique and found in only one specimen globally. Over the course of more than 40 years, the museum has been under the dedicated leadership of an outstanding specialist, guide, and director – Mr. Poznakomkin Stanislav.
