Chongqing Museum of Natural History (New Hall) Review

Chongqing Natural Museum is the best natural museum and dinosaur museum I have ever been to. This new museum has only opened for two years, and it has a late-growth advantage. It has learned too much construction experience compared with its old brothers who can't keep up with the times. 1. First of all, Beibei is Lu Zuoyu's choice of geological research site, with a long tradition of geological research; 2. The construction of this pavilion takes into account the necessity of the dinosaur pavilion. Dinosaurs are oversized exhibits, need an open environment to display and take pictures, not only to give such an environment, but also add a background when meteorites impact the earth (seemingly) when the Jurassic Cretaceous feel and atmosphere overflowed. The whole pavilion is magnificent and well planned. Unlike the Zigong Dinosaur Museum, it is old and narrow, and its positioning is also for all ages, non-low children, and many knowledge is completely understandable by adults; 3. Exhibits, positioning is a natural blog, and Chongqing humanities and history do not touch, closely around the main proposition of nature, form and gather. From the cosmic explosion to the Devonian to plate motion to rock and soil production, to the origin of life, to the reproduction of plants and animals and humans, the emphasis is on the combination of Chongqing's own long geological history, the advantages of karst landforms and fossils, and a line is drawn. Exhausting the way you can think of presentations illustrates the restoration process of Earth history and the history of the birth of mankind. Say a few key points: (1) The Dinosaur Museum as the main theme, Hechuan Mamenxilong, Yongchuanlong (Chongqing Yongchuan, China's fiercest carnivorous dinosaur), dragon dragon, bell dragon and other dinosaurs are classified and displayed, and the other categories are clearly written, and the natural landscape based on Chongqing's own is further developed. The student, detailed description of the knowledge system related to it, is impressive. (2) The exhibition is rich, the dinosaur museum displays most of the Chinese dinosaurs, and does not have a model, and also exhibits "Panda Times - Uncovering the Panda's Previous and Present Lives" and animal specimens donated by foreign old people and the environment department; (3) The exhibition method is surprising and full of innovation. The first time I saw the paleontologist's office, I was deeply satisfied with my childhood fantasy of smoking a pipe and studying dinosaur fossils; the first time I saw a museum directly moving the cave pillars of the karst landscape to the exhibition hall, and I felt real; For the first time, you can touch many paleontological fossils and perceive the great power of the earth. There is also a semi-circular model of the earth's sphere of the crustal plate, and the cave-style exhibition of underground animals in the specimen museum is simply subverting the imagination. In the cave, I looked up and saw a brown bear staring at you, instantly solidified and impressed; (4) The service is medium and upper, considering that the whole museum is very large, it takes a long time to go shopping, people will be hungry, there are egg tart cakes and pizzas, but the Chinese junk food such as sausage fried potato is rejected, which avoids air pollution in the museum. During the National Day and the holiday, its opening and closing was extended to 9 pm, and the museum’s wonderful night was very exciting to think about. The goods and souvenirs here are more foreign, the dinosaur shape and quality are very good, and the flashing horse racing lights outside Zigong are completely two grades, which is the level that the new era should have when entering 2020.
