Museum
The Museum of Paleontology named after Yuri Alexandrovich Orlov is run by the institute, and contains public exhibits.
During World War II, the museum operated under a skeleton staff between 1941 and 1943 as the threat of the Battle of Moscow anticipated an invasion by the German army. Some specimens were packed up to prevent damage or destruction in air raids.[1]
