A hidden gem, RMBR houses more than 500,000 animals and plant specimens that you can get up close with. Children can marvel at spectacular animals ranging from dugongs, a two-metre tortoise, tigers, bats and more. They can also have fun competing against one another in animal-themed giant puzzles and paper craft stations. Don't forget to take this chance to join an exclusive tour of the museum’s three-storey archive section that is rarely opened for public viewing.More about International Museum Day and about RMBR.
