scientific, cultural, and educational institutions in which animal collections are assembled (animals in fixing fluids, dried or specially prepared animals, stuffed animals, skeletons, hides, and articles made from horns, bones, shells, etc.).

In zoological museums scientific research is conducted on the taxonomic description of fauna, zoogeography, variations, comparative morphology and anatomy, and evolution, that is, historical development. In addition to extensive cultural and education work on zoology and the popularization and propagandizing of ideas of environmental protection among wide segments of the population, educational programs for students of secondary and higher educational institutions are implemented. Consultations on zoological problems of hunting, agriculture, forestry, and medical zoology are conducted. Collections of zoological museums consist of scientific collections and materials on display; the former are used for scientific research, the latter as educational materials.
