Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=706515038 my edit]. If necessary, add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

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)
