Mammoth Museum
Музей мамонта
A museum run by North-Eastern Federal University that displays mammoths and other Ice Age remains found in the Yakutian permafrost, including woolly mammoths and woolly rhinoceroses.
The museum belongs to North-Eastern Federal University and was founded in 1991. It is one of the earliest institutions in the world devoted specifically to the study of mammoths. Its collection includes a complete mammoth skeleton, frozen remains with fur, and specimens of Ice Age animals such as the woolly rhinoceros, the cave lion and the ancient bison. Many were found in the Yakutian permafrost. The exhibition hall is not large, has some English-language labels, and admission is inexpensive. The museum is located in a university building at 48 Kulakovsky Street. Opening hours change from time to time, so it is best to check in advance.
