Singapore's collection of Southeast Asian animals-one of the
world's largest-dates back to the old Raffles Museum, officially
established in 1878.With the opening of the Lee Kong Chian Natural
History Museum in 2015, the original Raffles Museum has
""reincarnated"" and the loop on its remarkable 127-year history
has closed. Beneath the sleek exterior of today's modern museum
building lies a saga of titanic struggles and changes. That the
collections survived at all-through the multiple challenges of the
nineteenth century, the disruption of World War Two, and its
potential disintegration in the face of Singapore's
modernization-is nothing short of miraculous. This book is not only
an institutional history of the museum but also tells the story of
frustrations, commitment and courage of the numerous individuals
who battled officialdom, innovated endlessly and overcame the odds
to protect Singapore's natural history heritage. The book features
108 historical photographs and natural history illustrations
printed in full colour throughout.
