Review:

The national natural history collection was separated from the National Museum in 1944 to form the Museum of Natural History. The two museums are housed in the same Rudolfinum building, which was completed in 1885. Founding collections include Sigmund Zois' mineral collection and Hohewart's collection of 5000 mollusc species. There are also dioramas of alpine, wetlands and forest ecosystems. The museum's largest exhibit is the skeleton of a young female fin whale that was found off the Slovenian coast in 2005. The near complete skeleton of a woolly mammoth is the museum's symbol.
