It is headed by a Museum-in-charge who is tasked to maintain all the collected specimens, properly mounted, classified and arranged to a generally acceptable system of classification and systematic order of Philippine Flora and Fauna for both terrestrial and the aquatic.
The museum is also a vital center for scientific research especially for taxonomic researches of the country’s flora and fauna. It also serves a major repository of resources for research, conservation and education.
The Museum has two display facilities and reference collections. The Terrestrial display area is located at the CSM Rooftop.
