Explore the one and ONLY in SG!

Come explore the one and ONLY natural museum in Singapore! It was definitely one of the best visit for me, and having my best buddy to explore together makes it more enjoyable. I learnt so much and was so fascinated by all the spectacular artifacts, specimens and exhibits. Don’t forget to check out the dinosaur fossils! Definitely worth the ticket, if you are a natural history enthusiast. Though a great place for knowledge quest, in my personal opinion, it is more suitable for children ages 6 and above, as the description writings are rather small and complex for younger children to understand. Nevertheless it is a really impressive museum! Look forward to be back! Address - National University of Singapore 2 Conservatory Drive, Singapore 117377 Getting There - Get down at Clementi MRT. Take bus 96 from Clementi bus interchange Entry- We booked our tickets from klook that costs $16 per pax.

Upclose with the dinosaurs

Address: Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, Singapore, 2 Conservatory Dr, Singapore 117377 Price per pax incuding booking fee: $19 (SG residents Adults); $12 (SG residents child, student, senior citizen and NSF) Located in the south west of Singapore lies a hidden meuseum with a large collection of millions of specimens from the Southeast Asia region. It contains 16 thematic exhibitions feature plants, amphibians, mammals, and my favourite - dinosaurs! I decided to pop by this place a couple hours before my dinner nearby. I was amaze at all the fossils we have in Singapore, and I love how close up I can examine each creature. I recommend this place for anyone who is fascinated by nature and fossil. They have guided tours too if you want to learn more, however, I decided to explore the meuseum alone, reading about each exhibition one at a time. It’s definitely a great place to bring your kids during school holidays! And for those who wants to take some photos with the dianosaur fossil, you might wanna head down during off peak period. #mustvisit

night in the museum

#exploresgtogether #museum #attraction #urbanexplorer #history There are over 2,000 natural history specimens on display in this Museum allowing one to experience the amazing stories of nature in Southeast Asia. It’s akin to a trip back in time as you are transported to the beginning of life on earth where you witness how life is slowly transformed into the diversity that we see today. Be enthralled by the myriad of colours and forms of plants and animals in 15 different thematic zones from plants and amphibians to mammals and dinosaurs. I’m here for the dinosaurs actually 😂 And the museum’s three diplodocid sauropod fossils were among the largest and heaviest animals to ever walk on land. More than 80% complete, of which two of these skeletons come with skulls – a rarity as far as sauropod dinosaurs fossils are concerned! Found between 2007 and 2010 in a quarry in a small town of Ten Sleep in the United States, they are believed to be part of a herd or even a family.

Natural History Museum Singapore (Lkcnhm)

#familytrips2024 Lkcnhm located in NUS. Day trip with family here could easily spend 2-3hours. The exhibitions are interesting and many photo worthy spots! The area is safe for kids to run around and explore, although it is best not to disturb other guests. The museum also has a lot of interactive features. Such as viewing of cells under microscopic. I especially love the concept of displaying the specimens in the cabinets. A visit to the lkcnhm while you are in singapore is a recommended place!

Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum

#singaporetrip Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum is Singapore's first & only natural history museum. The museum has over 500,000 objects & over a million specimens. The collections are exciting for both children & adults. And the museum shop is full with nice products for kids. Good signage throughout the exhibition & helpful staff. The building itself exteriorly is an architectural experience & its surroundings are landscaped with native plants. It’s an iconic seven-story green building with stunning architecture. The museum displays three dinosaurs & it’s fascinating to experience them in their full natural size. They were found in a small town in the US & are believed to be part a family. The reason the History Museum has the three dinosaurs together in Singapore is due to a successful bid for the fossils two years ago for $8 million. A large part of the bill was for Mrs. Della Lee, wife of Lee Foundation Chairman Lee Seng Gee.

Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum

#singaporetrip Singapore’s very own natural history museum. If there’s one word to describe this place, it’ll be “elegant”. Its exhibits are beautifully curated, evoking the atmosphere of an art gallery. While it caters primarily to adults with its refined design, it offers fewer interactive elements for children.I really recommend for you to visit.......

[Explore SG] Least Known Museum in Singapore

#singapore Being a multicultural society, Singapore has several museums that serve to educate the public of our history and culture that make us what we are today. While the National Museum and the National Gallery rank among the most popular museums in Singapore, there’s one lesser-known museum that not many people know about - Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum. Even I, as an alumnus of NUS, was not aware of this museum located within the compound of NUS, right next to the University Cultural Centre. I was even more intrigued by the exhibits within, featuring species of plants, mammals and of course, dinosaurs, that used to roam the earth. If you’re interested to learn more about the biodiversity research in Southeast Asia, this is a museum you need to visit. #wheretogo #naturalhistorymuseum #museumlover
