The Geological Museum was launched in 1990. Since the establishment of the Geological Department in conjunction with the establishment of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia itself in 1970, efforts to develop this museum took time to complete, especially the collection of local mineral, rock and fossil samples.
To date, the total number of samples collected is over 7000 samples covering the Geological Museum, Geological Gallery and Rock Archives.
