Zhejiang Natural History Museum
Zhejiang Museum of Natural History (Zhejiang Museum of Natural History) was founded in 1929, formerly known as the West Lake Museum of Zhejiang Province. The building area is about 26,000 square meters, and the collection totals 130,000 items.
In 1929, after the first West Lake Exposition was held, the West Lake Museum of Zhejiang Province was established on the basis of the "eight halls and two places" of the expo.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the West Lake Museum went through several rounds, and later renamed "Zhejiang Museum" in 1953. In July 1984, the natural part of the museum was set up separately, and the Zhejiang Museum of Natural History was also established.
At the beginning of the construction of the museum, the museum did not have a fixed display place. Later, the warehouse business building was built in 1991 and the exhibition hall was completed in 1998. In July 2009, the new museum was completed and opened.
In August 2018, the museum was officially renamed the Zhejiang Museum of Natural History. Anji Branch will open to the public in 2019.
The collection includes 12 species of paleontology, minerals, rocks, plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, aquatic invertebrates, insects and natural paintings, with a total of nearly 130,000 species.
