The NationalHistory of Singapore is the repository and exhibition for specimens and artifacts formerly housed in the old National History Museum as well as venue for biodiversity rsearch. Plants native to Singapore fill a 6-story cleft in the building's 'clif-like facade'. As the emphasis for th venue is on education, four distinct areas have been created to stimulate the natural habitat for plants native to Singapore. Between the geodic main building and the supporing laboratory facilities are a series of interactive native species exhibits focusing on freshwater mangrove, aquatic plants, palms and other nattive flowering plants. To encourage hands-on learning, exhibts allow children of all ages o interact with the small micro-ecosystem pools. On the east side of the building, a phylogenetic garden showcase distinc shrub species that demonstrate the evolution of native plant species overtime. On the north side of the building, an extensive 'beach' environment and interactive mangrove pools replicate the evolution of an equatorial rainforest island. Interactive mangrove pools highlight the importance of the contribution these habitats made to SIngapore brackish river.
