In order to meet the expectations of the general public and widely absorb social opinions and suggestions, from August 26 to 27, the "Little Explorers" and parents jointly recruited by chengdu natural museum (Chengdu University of Technology Museum) and Chengdu Research and Tourism Association walked into the museum and visited the "Earth Homeland" Geological Environment Department, Mineral Resources Department and other exhibition halls.
Kids rubbing dinosaurs
In order to participate in this museum visit, Wu Yurong registered her child Song Sihan early, and the two rushed back to Chengdu from Deyang early in the morning. Wu Yurong graduated from Chengdu University of Technology in 2005 and has been following the progress of museum construction from news media and other reports. Influenced by his mother, Song Sihan has been interested in natural minerals since he was a child, and he still remembers visiting the old museum with his mother when he was 6 years old. Visiting the new museum this time, Wu Yurong sighed that "the museum is so big and the collection is very rich, it is worth taking children to visit repeatedly."
On the same day, the "Little Detective Librarian" and parents walked into the Chengdu Museum of Natural History (Chengdu University of Technology Museum) together, listened to professional explanations, and also had expert Q&A sessions to answer children's questions about dinosaurs and geology. The "Little Explorers" visited the exhibition hall in an orderly manner, marveling at the enormity of the Hechuan Mamenxi Dragon and the bravery of the Tyrannosaurus Rex from time to time, and the small head was filled with too many question marks, and after getting the experts' answers, they quickly wrote down the records in the notebook.
The question that interests children most is "Why did dinosaurs go extinct?" One of the hypotheses is that the meteorite hit the earth, caused a huge crater, and at the same time caused a volcanic eruption, the dinosaurs suffered heavy casualties in this disaster, and in the following years, the sun was not seen, the plants gradually died, and the food was severely scarce and led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. In addition, there are many hypotheses such as large-scale volcanic eruptions, changes in the earth's magnetic poles, and angiosperm poisoning, and the discussion between teachers and students on the spot is very lively.
The little librarian listens to the explanation
In addition to the visit, the "Little Detective Librarian" also learned to rub under the guidance of the teacher, and printed a postcard on the wooden board engraved with the "treasure of the town hall" Hechuan Mamenxi Dragon, carefully framed it, and "brought home" the dinosaur.
Chengdu Museum of Natural History (Chengdu University of Technology Museum) has a total construction area of 50,520 square meters and an exhibition hall area of about 17,000 square meters. The design concept incorporates a large number of Sichuan elements - Shushan, Shudao, Shushui. The main body of the building consists of six monoliths, paying homage to the majestic Shu Mountains in the form of peaks and rocks. The six monomers are connected by a walkway and a sky bridge promenade, winding and circling, which is very artistically inspired by shu road. Among them, the curved water flow and reflecting pool are interspersed with the Shushui culture of Chengdu for thousands of years.
It is understood that the museum has a total of 6 theme exhibition halls, such as the Department of Geological Environment, the Department of Mineral Resources, the Hall of Longxingchuanyu, the Hall of Exploring Dinosaurs, the Hall of Life Exploration, and the Hall of Colorful Life, and is equipped with temporary exhibition halls, 4D cinemas, academic lecture halls, etc. The natural museum has a collection of more than 60,000 pieces, focusing on the earth sciences of Sichuan region, fossil paleontology in Sichuan-Chongqing region, biodiversity and environmental protection in Sichuan.
The "Little Librarian" activity is divided into five phases, and all of them are full in just one hour after the release, which is deeply concerned by all walks of life. After the end of the museum visit, the Chengdu Museum of Natural History (Chengdu University of Technology Museum) also conducted a questionnaire survey to collect feedback from the society and consolidate the foundation for the opening of the museum.
