Due to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, the museum will be closed at the end of January 2020 and expanded, and the expansion and construction has been completed and will be reopened to the public on May 18.
During the closure of the epidemic, the Huizhou Sperm Whale Theme Museum newly expanded a science popularization corridor, and the reporter saw that here is a corridor that simulates the construction of the underwater world, which not only increases the knowledge of whale and dolphin science, but also effectively unites the original A and B pavilions, optimizes the visit route, so that the citizens who come to visit can experience the immersive feeling more.
Wang Huan, deputy director of Huizhou Fishery Research and Promotion Center: Cetaceans mainly have toothed whales and baleen whales, and the toothed whale is more special is the "dwarf sperm whale", because its physiology has a habit similar to "squid ink spraying", and the Brinze whale is also a relatively large baleen whale, relatively speaking, because the sperm whale is a tooth whale, the addition of Some baleen whales (specimens) of the Bushi whale has further improved the display content of our pavilion.
At present, the Huizhou Sperm Whale Theme Pavilion is managed by the Huizhou Fishery Research and Promotion Center, in order to give back to the general public, the center decided to resume the opening of the exhibition hall from The "International Museum Day" on May 18, and the public can make real-name reservations through the WeChat public account or telephone of the "Huizhou Fishery Research and Promotion Center" without purchasing tickets.
