Bogor Zoology Museum

The Zoological Museum contains over 1.5 million preserved specimens of Indonesian fauna, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects in temperature-controlled rooms.

Founded in 1894 as an agricultural laboratory during Dutch colonial rule, the institution expanded its collection through extensive field research and specimen gathering across Indonesia.

The museum serves as Indonesia's primary center for zoological research, contributing to scientific understanding through partnerships with international institutions and educational programs.

Located next to the Bogor Botanical Gardens, the museum operates daily from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM with separate admission rates for domestic and international visitors.

In 1912, the museum became the site of the first scientific documentation of the Komodo Dragon, marking a significant discovery in Indonesian natural history.
