The National Museum of Nature is located in the Tianqiao area on the central axis of the southern part of the capital. It has a unique geographical location. It backs onto the Temple of Heaven Park, a world heritage site, forming an interesting contrast with this ancient garden that carries profound historical and cultural deposits. Meanwhile, it faces the modern Tianqiao Theatre, where tradition and modernity blend with each other, creating a unique atmosphere.
The museum has rich and valuable collections. There are four permanent exhibitions and a "Dinosaur World" exhibition in the museum. It is particularly worth mentioning that the number of large complete ancient mammalian fossils in its collections ranks second in the world, which fully demonstrates its important position in the fields of paleontological research and collection. Among them, the fossils of the Yellow River ancient elephant and dinosaur fossils are famous both at home and abroad. These precious fossils are like keys to opening the door to the ancient world, leading people to travel through time and space, to explore the mysteries of prehistoric creatures and feel the miraculous evolution of nature over the long years.
For tourists who bring children to visit, the "Exploration Corner" in the museum is a place that must not be missed. Here, children can give full play to their imagination. Through various interactive experiences and interesting exploration activities, they can have a deeper understanding of natural science knowledge, stimulate their curiosity and desire to explore nature, and make the visit to the museum a wonderful journey full of fun and gains.
