Additionally, the museum has plans to include a hub for climate, habitat and biodiversity education.
Ismail said they would display many specimens that have never had a permanent display space before.
These include the golden mole, raccoon, grass snakes, thorny devil (lizard), snapping turtle and the echidna, an egg-laying mammal, which is native to Australia and New Guinea.
Others include the toucan, tropical kingfishers, birds of paradise, emperor scorpions, cicadas, giant African land snails and morpho butterflies.
