When the Zoological Institute was organized on the basis of the museum in 1931, the Zoological Museum hence became a laboratory of the Institute. The library was started as part of the museum in 1832. Most of the archival materials from the Zoological Museum are now concentrated in the archive and the library of the Institute, while the museum continues to operate under the Institute. |
