Detail InformationEdit

The Shanghai Natural History Museum is a museum dedicated to natural history. It is one of the largest museums of natural sciences in China.The museum was created in 1956 in what was once a classical British structure from 1923 that used to be the Cotton Exchange.
The museum has a collection of 240,000 samples, including over 62,000 pieces of animal specimens, 135,000 plant specimens, 700 specimens of the Stone Age, and 1,700 specimens of minerals. There are also rare species which cannot be found elsewhere outside China, such as a Yellow River mammoth, a giant salamander, a giant panda, and an alligator from the Yangtze River.
The largest exhibit is a 140-million-year-old dinosaur skeleton of Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis Young et Zhao from Sichuan Province, which is over four stories high. The museum also has two mummies and several human embryos. All the displays have not been changed for many years, and many signs are in Chinese only. The sections on human evolution and primitive civilizations are quite dated and include old racial stereotypes. However, there is a sign that acknowledges and apologizes for any errors which may be the result of “time, ability, and financial capacity”.
