Abstract: Scientific cooperations between the museums of natural history in Berlin and in Budapest are described. Already in 19th century, for instance, the specialists of zoological Taxonomy Edmund Reitter (coleopterologist), Geza von Horváth (helminthologist) and Ludwig von Mehély (herpetologist) intensively communicated with the Berlin Zoologists Julius Weise, Karl August Möbius and Anton Collin. After World War II the mueums have been continued using the special collections to their mutual benefit, and when in 1956 the Hungarian collections were disturbed by Soviet military actions, Hungarian zoologists asked for assistance with exchanging specialists and well destined items of their collections. This way in 1963 there have been officially arranged both yearly visits to the museums in Berlin and Budapest and cooperations not only on taxonomy but also on general museological research like problems of modern exhibitions and their evaluating. In 1973, the Berlin museum also participated in the Dictionarium museologicum (1986) initiated by the Hungarian museologist István Eri.
