Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia \u2013 10 September 2026 – Aquaria KLCC and Jabatan Muzium Malaysia, through the Natural History Museum Malaysia, today launched \u201cThe Hidden Wonders of Malaysia\u201d, a new biodiversity campaign aimed at bringing the country\u2019s rich natural heritage closer to the public through a unique combination of live marine life and preserved wildlife specimens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officiated by En. Mohammad Shawali bin Haji Badi, Deputy Director General of Jabatan Muzium Malaysia, the exhibition features 51 specimens and replicas valued at over RM320,000.

The collaboration brings together the expertise and strengths of both institutions, with Aquaria KLCC\u2019s live marine exhibits complementing specimens from the Natural History Museum Malaysia. This unique combination provides visitors with a different perspective of Malaysia\u2019s biodiversity, allowing them to learn about wildlife through both living environments and preserved scientific collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Partnering with Jabatan Muzium Malaysia allows us to seamlessly unite living marine life with rich historical storytelling,” said Dato\u2019 Simon Foong, Group Executive Chairman of Aquawalk Sdn Bhd<\/strong>. “Together, we are not simply exhibiting Malaysia\u2019s natural heritage, we are building an immersive, unforgettable journey that turns passive curiosity into a lifelong commitment to preserving our country’s biodiversity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the guardian of the nation\u2019s biodiversity heritage and its valuable specimen collection, the Natural History Museum Malaysia, through this campaign, offers the public a unique opportunity to gain a closer look at preserved specimens, particularly those that hold significant historical value and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To champion youth engagement, the launch featured an exclusive \u201cBe A Taxidermist\u201d hands-on educational workshop, introducing local school students to the meticulous science of specimen preservation. Additionally, Aquaria KLCC is debuting an interactive House System concept, an educational framework designed to guide families and students through the exhibit via gamified learning tracks. Complementing these activities is a special edition set of Discovery Hunt stamps created in conjunction with the exhibition, giving young explorers a collectible, hands-on way to track their journey through the displays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
