Rozora Zhanna Vasylivna, a zoologist, and museologist, head of the Zoological Museum of Kyiv University

An essay about a researcher whose entire life, from the beginning of her career to her senior years (1957–2023+), was connected with the Zoological Museum of Taras Shevchenko University of Kyiv. This museum is not only the central and most famous zoological museum in Ukraine, but also a model museum by all criteria: history, exhibition, collections, catalogues, publications, and researchers. Zhanna Rozora took part in many expeditions of the museum and was a collector and preparator of many specimens. With her participation and under her leadership, the museum grew into one of the most powerful centres of scientific research and dissemination of natural knowledge.
