Summary/Abstract: Collecting the impressive patrimony of the “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History from Bucharest, during the 180 years of existence, has required an immense creative energy, and the extensive work of the scientists who have contributed to this cultural institution. Some of these collections have been formed and enriched through the selfless devotion and the love for the nation of some famous people in different fields, who donated various samples. Our work pays homage to these people, who through their small contribution helped the museum exist and grow. Therefore, we believe that their names and their donations, which have been maintained in the archives of the collections, must be made known to the future generations.
