MORRISON MUSEUM OF NATURAL SCIENCE

Tel: (04) 2292-1171, ext. 401
Hours: Call for open times

In a true labor of love, this impressive new museum is the culmination
of hundreds of thousands of collective hours by Morrison Academy's
students, teachers, parents and community volunteers, led by science
teacher Dr. Dan Anstein. With a collection of between 15,000 and
20,000 insects, including all 369 known Taiwanese butterfly species
and about 170 beetle species, the museum has the largest non-government
collection and fifth or sixth largest overall. There are also plenty
of living and preserved reptile, fish and mammal species. Call the
school for specific viewing times and more information.
