Lonely Planet review for Mendeleev Museum

In the twelve Colleges, the building where Dmitry Mendeleev invented the periodic table of elements now contains the Mendeleev Museum. His cosy study has been lovingly preserved and you can see his desk (where he always stood rather than sat) and some early drafts of the periodic table.

    Historic must-see if' you've ever taken a chemistry course.

    zestforlife recommends this,

    It's mind-boggling to see how his work on creating a systematic classification of the chemical elelments based on the properties of atomic weight and valence unified and rationalized the whole effort of chemical investigation. I loved to see his original desk and some of his original notes and attempts. He was a genius from which we all benefited. You have to do some inquiring to find it once you are on the campus.
