UPLB Museum of Natural History

The UPLB Museum of Natural History holds over 600,000 preserved biological specimens, including extensive collections of plants, insects, and wildlife from the Philippines.

Founded in 1976, the museum emerged from existing collections and herbaria at UPLB, with Professor Juan V. Pancho serving as its first director.

The museum preserves the Philippines natural heritage through eight specialized sections, including the largest insect collection in the country.

Located within the UPLB campus, the museum welcomes 25,000 annual visitors and provides educational programs, seminars, and guided tours.

The Microbial Culture Collection contains 4,000 strains of microorganisms and stands as the first Philippine collection in the World Federation for Culture Collections.
