Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum

TIME : 2016/2/17 14:55:29

What looks like a giant rock bursting with greenery is actually Singapore's high-tech, child-friendly natural-history museum. The main Biodiversity Gallery delves into the origin of life using a stimulating combo of fossils, taxidermy and interactive displays. Hard to miss are Prince, Apollonia and Twinky: three 150-million-year-old Diplodocidsauropod dinosaur skeletons, two with their original skull. Upstairs, the Heritage Gallery explores the collection's 19th-century origins, with an interesting section on Singapore's geology to boot.
