Museum of Natural History

ABOUT THE LOCATION

The building of the museum used to be the mansion of the famous zoologist and archaeologist Volodymyr Diduschytsky. As a boy, Vladimir watched his mother, who collected herbarium and had a collection of tropical mollusks. Eventually, he became to collect, too. His friends knew of his hobby and brought different exhibits for his collection from their travels, so his collections were growing at a crazy speed, and soon there was lack of room for the exhibits in the house on Lysenko Street. In 1868 Diduschytsky purchased a separate building to make of it a storage for his collection. At first, the collection could be seen once a week. But after Diduschytsky had gifted Lviv with his collection, Museum of Natural History appeared in the city. Besides, one of the Europe’s oldest mechanical elevators is located in this building, too. On the other side of the street you can see the building of The Economic Faculty of The Ivan Franko National University of Lviv.


About the project

Find & Follow is a travel project of the telecom operator Vodafone Ukraine. The main goal is to support the development of domestic tourism, local communities, small businesses and the creation of digital infrastructure for travel in Ukraine. Innovative pedestrian QR-routes are available in Kyiv, Lviv, Chernivtsi, Poltava, Cherkasy, Uzhhorod and Kherson. Routes consist of signs with QR-codes, which are placed near cultural and historical monuments, and arrows indicating the path. Having read the code on the plate, the tourist receives all the necessary information about the place near which he is. We add Village Tours to our country trips. These are weekend routes through Ukrainian villages, where it is safe, sparsely populated, incredibly interesting and beautiful.
