Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum

The Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum is a natural history museum in Queenstown housing over 560,000 catalogued specimens of plants and animals from the region. The collection spans multiple exhibition areas that cover different themes and habitats.

The collection began in 1849 at the Raffles Museum and expanded over decades before moving to its current building in 2015. The place has grown from an academic project into a modern research and exhibition space.

The museum displays the diversity of animal and plant life across Southeast Asia through its collections. Visitors can see how different species connect across the region and what makes local ecosystems distinct.

The museum offers regular exhibitions and guided tours that help visitors understand the collections. Visitors should plan adequate time as the various areas have much to explore.

Three large dinosaur fossils from the Diplodocidae family dominate the main gallery and immediately draw visitor attention. These impressive skeletons are a highlight that many people want to see first.
