Malaysia’s karst limestone caves are natural archives, preserving geological features, fossils and traces of life formed over millions of years. (Muzium Negara pic)PETALING JAYA: Rising sharply from the landscape like giant stone walls, Malaysia’s limestone hills are easy to admire from a distance. What is less obvious is how much they hold inside - caves, fossils, unusual wildlife, and traces of human history stretching back thousands of years.
A new exhibition at Muzium Negara is shining a light on that hidden world. "Pameran Khazanah Kars Malaysia", which runs until Dec 31, brings together 87 collections, including mammal, bird, amphibian and reptile specimens, rocks and fossils, archaeological finds, snail specimens and herbarium material.
