The Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research (RMBR) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) houses Singapore’s national and reference collection of preserved zoological specimens as well as the University’s herbarium. The specimens are used for comparative research on the flora and fauna of Singapore and the Southeast Asian region. They are the preserved physical records of the region’s biodiversity. The Museum is named after the founder of modern Singapore, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. Although an amateur naturalist, Raffles was one of the pioneers who applied Western science to the discovery, naming and documenting of the biodiversity in Southeast Asia.
