NATURAL SCIENCE MUSEUM at the Poznan Branch of
the Zoological Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences,
19 Swierczewskiego Street, tel. 456-01. Open on Tuesdays,
Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m. (entrance through the Zoological Garden), on Wed-
nesdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. (entrance from Swierczew-
skiego Street).
The Museum was established in 1924 through the fusion of
two collections: that of the Museum of the Poznan Society
of Friends of Learning in Poznan, founded in 1857, and that
of the Natural History Division of the "Kaiser Friedrich Mu-
seum", established about 1870. The Museum has two main
sections:
Domestic Fauna — the principal collections are: the
collection of the Poznan Society of Friends of Learning, the
collections and trophies taken into safety after World War II
and material furnished by the Zoological Garden.
The exhibited specimens include the most representative
domestic vertebrates, the more important representatives of
the invertebrates, especially insects and molluscs; in addition
to those, the Branch of the Institute has in its stores speci-
mens of exotic vertebrates : skeletons of mammals and birds ;
horns, and a large collection of fossil bones.
The Museum of the Institute also has scientific collections
of the following groups (in the study of which the various
workers of the Institute are engaged): fish of the Warta
River basin; reptiles and amphibians of the Great Poland
National Park, a rich collection of molluscs ; an entomological
collection (comprising Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Heteroptera,
Aphidoidea, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Trichoptera, and Odona-
ta); collections of cladocerans, estracods, soil mites and
leeches.
History of the Earth — the principal collections are:
the 100-year old collection of the Poznan Society of Friends
of Learning, the collection of the Museum of Natural History,
the collection of the Adam Mickiewicz University, and
exhibits collected by Museum workers in the course of field
work. The collections include minerals from the whole world:
a small collection of Permian fossils from Saxony; a small
Solonhofen Jurassic collection; a large collectionof Palaeozoic
erratic corals; a fully examined collection of Silurian and
Devonian corals of Poland; a small collection of Palaeocene
and Miocene corals of Poland; a small collection of fully
examined conodonts (Ordovician and Fammenian) and a large
collection of Foraminifera (current life of the Baltic) and
from Eem (Pleistocene); a collection of partly examined and
published stromatoporoids.
