What to expect

Shanghai Natural History Museum

Shanghai Natural History Museum is one of China's largest natural history museums, housing over 280,000 specimens that trace life from ancient fossils to modern ecosystems.

Features

• Explore 10 themed exhibition halls that cover a wide span of natural history, from prehistoric life to present-day environments, giving you plenty of galleries to choose from.
• Younger visitors can try interactive and family-friendly experiences, including hands-on activities like fossil excavation and wildlife observation that turn learning into participation.
• Your official entry ticket to Shanghai Natural History Museum provides access to the exhibition halls, although inside movies, a guide, and transportation are not included in this experience.
