Mission

  The mission of the entomology museum is the utilization of specimen records to facilitate and document research, to inculcate hands own experience in coursework and to outreach arthropod biology. We are committed to offer our specimen treasure accessible to researchers, students and public to pursue active interactions which can foster the platform for the exchange of knowledge both locally and globally.
