INDIAN MUSEUM ZOOLOGICAL GALLERIES  

The maintenance and development of the Zoological Public galleries of the Indian Museum in Kolkata, is one of the important functions of the Survey. These galleries are for the public, through the display of attractive exhibition- series, which includes well planned and accurately labeled specimens to stimulate and broaden the minds of general public not engaged in scholarly research. The Taxidermy and Museum Division of the Survey undertakes this work. 

To illustrate the Zoology of the Indian sub-continent, the fauna has been assembled in several artistically designed Zoological Galleries, two for Mammals, one for Insects, and two for birds, reptiles, fishes and an exclusive gallery with show-cases depicting various ecosystems and their representative animal life.     

It is always the endeavor of the survey to arrange the public galleries as affectively as those of great Museums of developed countries.
