Karazin Kharkiv National University is one of the oldest European Museums as well as a major research and educational center in Ukraine, engaged in exhibition, research, educational activity and promotion of scientific and ecological knowledge. Shortly after the opening of Kharkiv Imperial University its administration asked headmasters of local schools and colleges to send to University various antiquities and objects of historical value. The University Warden count Severin Pototskyi bought in Hannover Professor Andre?s collection and in St. Petersburg a collection owned by an Italian Chetti. They contained many kinds of animals: corals, shells, molluscs, insects, birds, petrifactions and minerals, and on 2 April 1807 these two collections arrived in Kharkiv.
