The exhibition added that this year-end exhibit did examine dinosaur species over the course of the course of the Earth’s history.
IMMIGRATION BRINGING SPECIMENS HOME
The LKCNHM is also expanding its online series.
The museum’s initiative, Singapore in Global Natural History Museums Information Facility ( SIGNIFY), was aimed at creating a digital wildlife archives.
According to LKCNHM’s wildlife histories lead Martyn Low, its goal is to online reunite the” thousands upon thousands of organic history specimens” collected from Singapore long back but are now dispersed throughout the world.
To digitize historically significant specimens from Singapore, file them for the environment of Singapore, and assist in their study, SIGNIFY collaborates with natural background museums and repositories around the world.
Mr. Low continued that the SIGNIFY group works to digitize samples in high definition for everyone to get online for free.
He claimed that many of these samples were taken by conservationists and adventurers throughout various eras when Singapore did not have a gallery dedicated to natural history.  ,
They are a very prosperous part of Singapore’s wildlife history, according to Mr. Low.
The Hope’s maverick insect, or Remphan hopei, is one such specimen that the job has digitalized.
The second insect species from Singapore to have a medical name, according to SIGNIFY, is this bug.  ,
The Natural History Museum in London has a type specimen, or example, a , that describes the varieties,  , of this beetle at the moment.
If the sample is located in London, it is “divined from where it was first collected and where it used to live,” according to Mr. Low, who just observed it there and studied it there.  ,
He added that people can better comprehend what Singapore’s healthy history was like if it was digitized and brought back to where it was before.
A modern replica of the insect was placed in a forest area in Bukit Timah as part of Singapore Art Week 2025, where Mr. Low believes it may have been collected in the past.  ,
He added that this was done so that customers could learn more about these specimens’ natural settings and where they came from.
We are attempting to online rejoin the specimens with their former home in Singapore, where they were once taken, according to Mr. Low.
