The history of the museum “Archaeology, ethnography and ecology of Siberia” begins in 1970-s when Pr. A. I. Martynov (head of the Chair of Archaeology) and Pr. T. N. Gaguina (head of the Chair of Zoology) initiated the creation of zoology and archaeology museums. In 1980 the museums were open. The materials presented in the museums have been collected by teachers and students of Archaeology and Zoology faculties during 30 years. Since 1997 the museums merged. Today the museum is a big University unit with a library, photography collection, archive, restoration and taxidermy workshops, repositories, lecture-rooms
