Flora And Fauna At The Sabah State Museum

The highlight at the Sabah State museum are the classic dioramas of animals and their jungle environments. Bringing wild Borneo to the masses.

Earnest rhino.

Setting the scene. Bloody cobra, scared squirrel.

Crocodile and brave birds. We especially like how the background image comes to 3D life for the high bird branch.

Eager eagle. A bunch of bamboo, mind the outlets.

Adorable white mongoose.

Something For Everyone At The Sabah State Museum

Kota Kinabalu has a nice museum with a variety of cultural artifacts. A peek at nature. Old cars. A train set. Kind of like if the Smithsonian museums were crammed into one building.

The main atrium, dominated by a giant whale skeleton. Good choice!

Local custom of costume. Big Buddha in a small train set.

Rice cultivation demonstration.

TV studio re-creation, equipment just a bit older than when James started in the business. Scary. Speaking of scary, a moody bust of Malaysia's first leader, Tunku Abdul Rahman.

A cave diorama. Borneo is famous for amazing caves, maybe best to seek out the real things.
