The museum collection of nests and eggs is the largest one in East Europe and North Asia, and undoubtedly the largest in the world for the fauna of North-East Palearctic. The bird exhibition of the museum is not very large, it has 1184 specimens dis- played, but the space in the exhibition halls limits our possibilities to show bird diversity. In the collection of study skins, birds from the former USSR territory predominate. Only a few vagrant and extremely rare species are missing. In the collection of downy chicks, divers, geese & ducks, waders, gulls and auks are all well represented. Other rather large collections are from Mongolia and China (about 1,000 each), and the USA (several hundred)..
