The "From Dragons to Beasts" exhibition follows the "End of the World" exhibition, telling the story of life’s extinction and evolution after the mass extinction 65 million years ago. This special exhibition features 104 specimens from Gansu, using precious fossil treasures from three museums across the Taiwan Strait to illustrate the demise of dragons and the rise of beasts, inviting the public to appreciate this remarkable journey of life’s evolution.

The exhibition is mainly divided into three core sections: the "Dragon Hall," "The Fall of Dinosaurs and the Rise of Mammals," and the "Beast Hall." Each section stands independently yet complements the others, narrating this grand evolutionary drama through precious fossil artifacts.
