Does anyone have photos?

funny question... In many groups, the museum/Institute's collections are the largest in Russia...

If you haven't been to a very large museum before , it's best to keep your lower jaw down so you don't slam it against something.

Great, I'll definitely go there tomorrow!
but judging by the photos from the museum's website, the butterflies have faded and lowered their wings. Probably removed the oldest ones..

Funny, actually the collection is one of the largest in the world.

I visited this museum today, but alas, I managed to stay in the insect department for only 10 minutes (I was kicked out an hour before the museum closed), and then I got there with difficulty. frown.gif I'll definitely go again.
I post photos of the shop windows that I managed to see. The quality is poor - too dark for a soap dish.

Good luck to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You have the opportunity to visit every day(at your discretion-by distance available).The fourth collection in the world ranked by status.Super collection and super masters-masters-doctors-who work with it and not only from St. Petersburg.Well done guys.Buggers are doing great.
There was a man there for a long time by the name of Podshibyakin.Everyone who knows the story knows what I mean.But you probably shouldn't impersonate him with the fiend of HELL.He did the wrong thing-everyone knows it.
To Lukhtanov and Lvovsky, my big bow for their GREAT work and love for entomology.Thank You Guys.Many thanks to St. Petersburg residents.Boris, I am grateful to you-I was fascinated by entomology in many ways.

Certainly not the 4th in the world. Twenty years old, maybe even 10. Unfortunately, there are very few new arrivals.
For butterflies larger than at least 3, maximum 5 collections only in Germany. If every year I saw materials with labels 2000, 2001, 2002... and a big increase, it would be super. the increase is small.
In general, the museum is huge, magnificent and very important for science

28.10.2010 18:15, Zlopastnyi Brandashmyg

Highly dependent on the group. There are new arrivals for orthopteroids every year, and from exotic countries.

Is it different for Lepidoptera? Funny, isn't it?

28.10.2010 18:21, Yakovlev

Yes, it is very difficult for me to evaluate all groups. Yes, and for butterflies, this is a huge amount, I think that the micro material is growing quite actively. In a word, a big museum and very very significant!

Much, if not all, depends on the activity of specific people.

Very interesting.

I finally broke through to the insect department. It's been renovated for God knows how long, but it's all very neat now.
In fact, the eyes ran away from the number of copies. Of course, you can't learn everything in a few hours. The entire Heterocera has faded beyond recognition, and all the butterflies have become approximately the same shades smile.gif
I focused my camera's attention mainly on catchy and colorful insects. If anyone is interested in any group from this exhibition, write-I'll take a picture.
