Dalian Life Mystery Museum

Dalian Life Mystery Museum

The Dalian Jinshitan Life Mystery Museum is situated in the scenic coastal city of Dalian. It is currently the most authentic, comprehensive, and systematic natural science museum in the world that unveils the evolutionary journey of vertebrates. By showcasing distinctive and captivating plastinated specimens, it brings to life the wondrous evolutionary path of life over hundreds of millions of years, conveying the most scientific, complete, and fascinating messages about life. At the same time, the Life Mystery Museum has gradually become an important part of the field of biological research due to its novel and advanced presentation methods. It is one of the most authoritative, functional, and representative science education venues.

The predecessor of the Dalian Jinshitan Life Mystery Museum was the Lushun Life Mystery Museum. In 2012, after more than two years of refinement, it made a perfect transition, upgrading magnificently from Lushun to the Cultural Expo Plaza in Jinshitan, and was officially renamed the Dalian Jinshitan Life Mystery Museum. It will provide the public with high-quality natural science exhibitions as well as other cultural and leisure services. The new museum spans 6,000 square meters and houses a collection of over 2,000 exhibits, including many rare species. Dozens of exhibits have set world records. Additionally, the museum’s state-of-the-art multimedia facilities blend seamlessly with its unique specimen displays, offering a truly stunning and breathtaking visual experience.

The Dalian Jinshitan Life Mystery Museum uses the evolution of vertebrates as its main thread, painting a magnificent picture of life’s development. The “Soul of the Ocean” exhibition hall is a highly artistically distinctive area of the Life Mystery Museum, featuring exquisitely crafted specimens that include fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals from the ocean. Through them, one can catch a glimpse of some of the mysteries behind the birth of life. The “Vertebrate Kingdom” exhibition hall reveals the secrets of humanity’s “friends,” showcasing the most representative internal features of land vertebrates and vividly presenting the beauty of animals and the wonders of the animal kingdom. The “Human Body World” exhibition hall displays the intricate structures inside the human body and common diseases, laying out the “parts” of this precision instrument before your eyes. You may see them as sculptures or as top-tier artworks, but what they offer you is not just a shock to the soul, but rather a series of life experiences.

As an important branch under the Life Mystery Science popularization kingdom, the Dalian Jinshitan Life Mystery Museum plays a pivotal role in various fields, creating China’s first flagship museum through unprecedented forms of presentation. It is not a traditional, dull didactic venue, but rather one that vividly displays the astonishing bones and muscles of living creatures and the intricate neural and vascular systems. Its uniquely creative new form of artistic expression marks the world’s first systematic, complete, and comprehensive organization of the evolutionary process of vertebrates. By the time the new museum was completed, the Life Mystery Museum and its various exhibits had traveled to over 60 cities in more than 20 countries within nine years, setting a record of over 35 million visitors. In New York, USA, the Life Mystery exhibition was recorded as the most visited exhibition in history and was also selected by The New York Times as one of the “Top Ten Cultural Experiences Worth Visiting in New York.” The transformed Dalian Jinshitan Life Mystery Museum will no longer view exhibitions as its sole perspective. It will rely on all effective, intuitive, and vivid forms, using books, audiovisual products, handicrafts, and other mediums to convey complete, rich, and diverse messages about the mysteries of life.

The exhibits of the Dalian Jinshitan Life Mystery Museum gather the essence of natural collections, and their production leads the global trend in plastination technology. With its outstanding influence, the Dalian Jinshitan Life Mystery Museum is bound to become a world-leading premier venue for natural sciences.
