| Paleontology |
| The paleontology exhibition, a large-scale one opened in August of 2003, consists of four galleries of The Origin of Life and Early Evolution, The Prosperity of Invertebrates, The Evolution of Dinosaurs and The Evolution of Mammals. With lots of exquisite fossils perfectly combined with modern high-tech techniques, the exhibition vividly shows the process of evolution of life from primal to evolutional, from primitive to advanced, from simple to complex and from aquicolous to terricolous through long geological years. |
