Claims of earlier museums

The statement: "It is said to be the world's first museum dedicated to the chemical industry,[8] although museums devoted to chemistry (rather than to the chemical industry) such as Kazan chemical museum,[12] Farsman Mineralogy Museum,[13] and the Kiev Museum of Chemical Industry did exist earlier.[citation needed]" Is not justified. The Kazan one is a departmental museum, as many other university chemistry departments have. The Farsman is one of many minerology museums, not a chemistry one and there is no citation for the Kiev one. A search shows the Ukraine's first Science Museum opening in 2017, no evidence of an earlier chemical museum. Therefore I am deleting these claims. Chemical Engineer (talk)
