	The Natural History Museum of Biology and Earth Sciences Department in the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń was established on the 14th of November, 1973. From the beginning of its existence the Museum has been devoted to the educational programs and promotion of natural sciences, including environmental protection, among students, apprentices and other nature lovers. Research is also conducted in the Museum. Furthermore, the Museum organizes various popular science and cognitive events (photo exhibitions, aquaristic events, photo and film contests, and the like).
	The exhibits in the display halls were collected from various sources, such as: donations, scientific expeditions by university researchers, purchase and taxidermy works carried out by museum staff. The largest exhibition hall houses a number of displays of animal classification and the Earth’s climate zones.
