Now a floating museum, this historic ship helped rescue the Italian polar expedition led by Umberto Nobile, led Allied arms and supply convoys in World War II and later conducted polar research expeditions.

So glad I visited this ship, the history behind this icebreaker is astonishing. No audio guide and my tour guide had next to no English but that didn't detract from an excellent tour. There is a lot of English translation throughout the Museum but even without you can sense the history and work it out for yourself, from a Armed escort during the Russian convoys from England during the war back to a rescue boat when an Italian airship had problems on an expedition to the North Pole.

Although the museum's current home is too small to display all 17 million species in the collection, more than half a million are on display in the form of skeletons, stuffed animals and other exhibits.
Reviewed By a1eksandar - Belgrade, Serbia
Apart for being famous as a museum with the most displayed mamoths, this place has immense collection of outstanding number of species. If you do not know Russian much of the displayed staff will be limited for you since not many have English translation.
