Mammoth Museum

The Mammoth Museum in Yakutsk, Russia, is a specialized scientific and cultural institution dedicated to the study and preservation of Pleistocene fauna. It houses an extensive collection of over two thousand bone remains, primarily sourced from the permafrost regions of the Sakha Republic. The museum is renowned for its unique specimens, including rare examples of mammoth remains that feature preserved soft tissues, which provide critical data for paleontology and genetic research.

Established to facilitate the study of the mammoth fauna, the museum serves as a hub for international scientific collaboration. Its exhibits offer insights into the ecosystem of the Ice Age and the environmental conditions that allowed for the exceptional preservation of prehistoric biological material in the Siberian permafrost.
