China Paleozoological Museum

　　It was established by the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is the only museum in China that systematically popularizes geoscience, paleontology, and evolutionary knowledge through animal fossils. The central “Fossil Exhibition Hall” displays over 600 exquisite fossil specimens, all carefully selected from more than 200,000 collected by four generations of scientists in the fields of vertebrate paleontology and paleoanthropology over the past fifty-plus years.

　　The exhibition halls of the China Paleozoological Museum are divided into three levels: the first floor features ancient fish and amphibians, the second floor showcases ancient reptiles and birds, and the third floor is dedicated to ancient mammals. In the atrium connecting the first and second floors, several dinosaur skeleton fossils are displayed, making the exhibition rich in content without feeling crowded. The China Paleozoological Museum is currently the largest paleozoological museum in Asia and also one of the larger ones in the world.
