The “British Natural History Museum Exhibition” (TREASURES OF THE NATURAL WORLD) features items selected from the collections of the Natural History Museum in London, established in 1881. This rare Asian tour has carefully chosen 227 treasures from a collection of over 80 million items for a world tour.

The exhibition not only showcases the rich collections and the intellectual achievements of scientific research of the Natural History Museum, but also highlights its significant role in natural history. It encourages visitors to reflect on important issues facing humanity and the planet through the viewing experience, such as environmental protection, species extinction, and the sustainable use of Earth’s resources.

This highly popular Natural History Museum, listed as a “must-visit attraction” in London, UK, welcomes approximately 5.5 million visitors from around the world each year. The “British Natural History Museum Exhibition” is embarking on its first overseas tour. Its first stop in Japan attracted a record-breaking 300,000 visitors. From Tokyo to Singapore, Taiwan is the third stop in Asia, and this marks the first time the exhibition has been presented in Taiwan, with only this single stop in Taipei.

The 227 treasures on display have been meticulously selected—not only are they national treasures of the UK, but they also hold global scientific significance and importance in natural history. Due to the extreme value of these items, the exhibition’s environmental controls for temperature and humidity, as well as the planning and layout, have been precisely managed by personnel from the UK’s Natural History Museum who came to Taiwan. Every detail has been carefully tested and retested to ensure that the exhibits are presented in their best possible condition to audiences in Taiwan.
