The Slovenian Museum of Natural History ((スロベニア語:Prirodoslovni muzej Slovenije), (ラテン語:Museum Historiae Naturalis Sloveniae)) is a Slovenian national museum with natural history, scientific, and educational contents. It is the oldest cultural and scientific Slovenian institution. The museum features national, European, and world wide collections demonstrating the changes in biodiversity, the development of the natural history thought, as well as different techniques of collection and preparation of samples. Its research activities focus on natural heritage of Slovenia. The Slovenian Museum of Natural History operates in the Center District in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, at Museum Street (), near Tivoli Park, the Parliament and the Opera House. Along with the National Museum of Slovenia, it is housed in a building from 1885, built upon the plans by the Viennese architect Wilhelm Rezori and the master builder Wilhelm Treo from Ljubljana. The symbol of the museum is an almost complete woolly mammoth skeleton, found in Nevlje near Kamnik in 1938.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Favourite Objects: Mammoth Skeleton )〕 Its official publication, published since autumn 1978, has been named ''Scopolia'' in honour of Giovanni Antonio Scopoli, a leading Carniolan naturalist of the 18th century. == History == The museum was founded in 1821 as the ''Carniolan Estates Museum'' ((ドイツ語:Krainisch Ständisches Museum)). Five years later, the Austrian Emperor Francis II decided to personally sponsor the museum and ordered its renaming to ''Carniolan Provincial Museum''. In 1882, the museum was renamed to ''Carniolan Provincial Museum - Rudolphinum'' in honour of the Crown Prince Rudolph. After the establishment of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the name was changed to ''National Museum''. In 1944, it was divided into the National Museum of Slovenia and the Slovenian Museum of Natural History (then known as ''Museum of Natural Sciences''). in 2005, the museum acquired its largest object, a skeleton of a young female fin whale Leonora, which was found dead at the Slovenian coast in 2003. The corpse weighted and was long. After an elaborate procedure, the skeleton was put on display in autumn 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Slovenian Museum of Natural History」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
