The “Natural History Museum UK Exhibition” (TREASURES OF THE NATURAL WORLD) features exhibits selected from the Natural History Museum in London, established in 1881. This rare Asian tour specially handpicked 227 treasures from over 80 million items in the collection for a world tour.
The exhibition not only showcases the rich collections and scientific wisdom of the Natural History Museum but also plays a significant role in natural history. It encourages visitors to reflect on important issues that humanity and the Earth will face, 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 around 5.5 million visitors from around the world every year. The “Natural History Museum UK Exhibition” is embarking on its first overseas tour, achieving a record attendance of 300,000 in Japan, starting from Tokyo and moving to Singapore. Taiwan is the third stop in Asia, and this marks its first-ever display in Taiwan, with only this Taipei edition available.

Every detail has undergone careful and repeated testing to present the exhibits in their best condition to audiences in Taiwan.
