The Museum of Paleontology, which is run by the Institute, has beautiful public exhibits, largely
unheard of outside of Moscow. Representing nearly every type of fossil organism imaginable, the
exhibits are particularly rich in Mongolian dinosaurs, synapsids (relatives of mammals) from the Perm region of Russia, and
Precambrian fossils, representing the dawn of life, from Siberia. I enjoyed my visit!
