“…Важливим для пізнання процесу створення та функціонування музею є дослідницький аналіз персоналій в їх роботі. В Україні активно вивчається роль у розвитку музейної справи їхніх керівників і співробітників [Chervonenko 2016;Emelyanov & Chervonenko 2016;Zagorodniuk 2016;Daforzh 2019]. Не стоять осторонь і геологічні музеї, описані основні етапи їх виникнення та розвитку.…”

The article highlights the role of personality in the creation of museum exhibitions. Among the pleiad of prominent museum figures of the second half of the last century was Vira Franchuk (1916–2014). She managed the Geological Museum of the Natural Museum of Natural History NAS of Ukraine during its radical change in the 1960s. In addition to the permanent exhibitions, Franchuk organised temporary exhibitions in each year. She constantly organised field work and brought new valuable exhibits from business trips and enriched the scientific collections. The materials collected by her impress with their brightness, clarity, attractiveness, and correspond to the essence of scientific collections. And this also shows the reflection of the high erudition and versatility of the personality of V. P. Franchuk. Vira Prokopivna went from a young field geologist to a successful manager capable of bringing a private project (which was first a geological museum) to world level. Under her leadership, five widely visited exhibition halls were created displaying materials from Ukraine and all over the world—about five thousand geological specimens. She left a rich legacy of scientific and popular science publications that have not lost their relevance to this day. A distinctive feature of Franchuk was the love of stone, its unique beauty, which is transmitted to the visitor in carefully selected spectacular specimens. In combination with explanatory text, photographs, diagrams, and geological cuts, the visitor receives a complete imaginary model of the geological environment. The creation of a museum space under the direction of Franchuk was using versatile communication capabilities. For a long time, Franchuk led the scientific editing of the geology and geography sections of the Ukrainian Soviet Encyclopaedia, and for her active participation in its preparation and publication, she was awarded the diploma of the Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. The high standard for material selection and qualitative visualization of scientific knowledge laid down by the team of geologists under the leadership of Franchuk, until this operate on a worthy level for the benefit of enlightenment and science popularisation.

The article is dedicated to the memory of the outstanding scientist-zoologist Vladyslav Ivanovich Monchenko. A brief outline of the main events of the scientist’s activity is given. V. I. Monchenko’s scientific achievements include 191 works published during his lifetime (among them 8 monographs and textbooks), almost 50 newly described taxa of copepod crustaceans and their parasites, and a unique collection of Copepoda. Fundamen-tal generalisations carried out by V. I. Monchenko are recognised by scientists far beyond Ukraine. Those in-clude the life cycles of copepods and the mechanisms of their regulation, as well as the analysis of the mor-phological evolution of this group, including experiments on the presence of cryptic species among cyclopods. His contribution to the biogeography of the Ponto–Caspian Basin are also important. The scientist’s contribu-tion to the development of the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) NAS of Ukraine is shown. Among the valuable collection specimens transferred by V. Monchenko to the NMNH are various sponges, sea anemones, and ascidians from the Southern Ocean, sailfish and jellyfish from the Pacific Ocean, crustaceans (Brucerolis bromleyana) and corals from the coast of New Zealand. The collection also includes 39 specimens of exotic gastropod and bivalve molluscs, collected in various parts of the Indian and Atlantic oceans and in bodies of fresh water of oceanic islands, as well as a skeleton of a female Cape petrel (Daption capense). The fish exhibition includes a mounted Copper shark (Carcharhinus brachyurus) caught by a researcher in the Pa-cific Ocean off the coast of Japan, and a wet specimen of a pilot fish (Naucrates ductor) from the Pacific Ocean. Sixty specimens of 17 species of fish from the Pacific Ocean and the Black Sea are stored in the scien-tific collection of the NMNH. The scientist received high recognition for his research and contributions into the development of science and scientific schools, he was elected a corresponding member of the NAS of Ukraine (2000), an academician of the NAS of Ukraine (2003), became a laureate of the D. K. Zabolotny Prize (1975) and the State Prize of Ukraine in the Field of Science and Technology (2007), and received the honorary title ‘Honoured Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine.’
