Synopsis In 1796, an Irish botanist named Christopher Smith collected plants in Singapore waters. These are the earliest known natural history specimens from the area. The natural heritage ties between Ireland and Singapore are therefore very old. This connection continues with the specimens collected from Singapore over the past two centuries that are now at “The Dead Zoo” as the National Museum of Ireland– Natural History is affectionately known. This book tells the story of this rich shared history, culture, and science.
