Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum

The Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum is Singapore’s only natural history museum, and a leading institution in Southeast Asian biodiversity research, education, and outreach. Located at the National University of Singapore, the Museum houses over a million natural history specimens, field notes, drawings, and photographs from Southeast Asia in its iconic rock-shaped building. As a custodian of Singapore’s natural heritage, we not only seek to share knowledge with the public, but also recognise the value of our collections among the scientific community which supports biodiversity research in Singapore and in the region.
