Founded in 1807, Kharkiv University Natural History Museum is among the oldest university museums in Ukraine. Having started as the Natural History Exhibition headed by professor F.o. Delyavin, it became а museum due to significant scientific contributions made by professors I.a. Krynytsky, A.m. Nikolsky, V.n.grubant, L.v.korabelnykov.

The stock of exhibits was substantially enlarged by various people who presented their private collections to the Museum, among them Councillor of State D.a. Donets-zaharzhevsky; professors V.m. Arnoldi, A.b. Felnam. Among the most active contributors to the foundation of the Museum were zoologists of the University School of Biology: professor I.b. Volchanetsky, associate professors O.d.
