• Resumen

  • The Moscow Society of Friends of Natural Sciences, established by Moscow University in 1863, played a major role in popularization of science and technology in Russia. It was one of the first Russian learned societies to adopt large-scale scientific exhibitions as means of dissemination of scientific and technological knowledge. The exhibitions were aimed at popularization of certain branches of scientific knowledge that were developing or had been developed in the West but were unknown to Russian public. All of them were accompanied by scientific congresses to which eminent foreign scientists were invited. All provided Moscow with new science museums.
