As a dinosaur fan, when I heard that Zhao Chuang and Yang Yang's science and art exhibition came to Shanghai again, my heart was still very excited. I've introduced the work of their PNSO Woodpecker Science and Art Group to you before, and I've shown you the collection of PNSO dinosaur models at home. In fact, in addition to selling popular science books and selling models, pnso also often conducts popular science exhibitions on dinosaurs and other paleontology throughout the country - note that this is not the kind of dinosaur exhibition that integrates the nature of sound and photoelectric playgrounds, but a formal popular science exhibition with a certain academic nature. I missed the exhibition in Shanghai several times before, so this time holding this "They - The Age of water monsters" science and art exhibition can not be missed. Below, I still plan to use pictures to introduce the content of this exhibition.

It is a long way from the great Shanghai Times Square, and the huge model will never be missed. This is a 1:1 model of a Hoffman dragon with a length of more than 20 meters, which is very imposing!
Yes, this is the ultimate boss who swallowed the great white shark first and dragged the mutant dinosaur into the water in the previous movie "Jurassic World"! Although the size of the strip in the movie is a bit exaggerated, standing next to this dragon can still feel the smallness of human beings.
Think about it, if you come across this cargo while swimming in the sea... Shudder!
The elevator goes up to the 5th floor to see the theme board of this exhibition. Keep in mind that according to strict parlance, only some land reptiles in the Mesozoic Era could be called "dinosaurs". Therefore, these people who swim in the sea or fly in the sky like pterosaurs are actually not in the category of dinosaurs - they can only be regarded as ancient marine reptiles.
This exhibition is on the side of the 5/6f aisle, and the actual content is not very much. If you look at it carefully, an hour is enough.
There are many paleontological models designed by Zhao Chuang himself on display. These model scales are all between approximately 1:35 and 1:20. Unlike ordinary dinosaur toys, they are museum-level treasures, all of which are well-documented and well-documented.
Take a look at the details of the head of this flaky dragon and remind you again that this is not a "dinosaur". When parents introduce their children, they can mention this...
This is a model of a big-eyed ichthyosaur that I love. When I was a child, I loved dolphins, and as a result, I fell in love with similarly shaped ichthyosaurs. It's just that ichthyosaurs are not related to modern marine mammals.
In addition to the model, the on-site display is more of a paleontological science painting drawn by Zhao Chuang and a story-rich explanatory text that Yang Yang accompanies. This is also the main style of psno's creative content, showing the living state of ancient creatures through anthropomorphic graphics.
Personally, I especially like Zhao Chuang's scientific paintings. He is not limited to traditional hand-drawing, but also adds a lot of computer cg components, making the picture both aesthetic and "realistic".
This one that looks like a crocodile is actually a proboscis dragon.
This is the original model of the huge Hoffman dragon downstairs, of course, the degree of detail is by no means comparable to the enlarged version downstairs.
Let's take a look at the details of these paleontological models made of resin. In front of it, even the ss model has little to be proud of...
There are also some dinosaur models made of copper, although not as good as resin in terms of accuracy and color expression, but more decorative. I wonder if PNSO will sell such models in new stores in Shanghai Times Square in the future?
This is a round-toothed shark, and the dragon should have eaten this product instead of the modern great white shark.
The spinosaurus that once shined in Jurassic Park 3 is so recognizable that the sail behind it is too recognizable. Although it can compete with the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the movie and even win, I remember that in reality this product is a master of eating fish....
The previous dinosaur that filled the back door of Shanghai 70/80 with cattle - Hechuan MamenXi Dragon. Yes, this is the real body of the dinosaur skeleton model in the hall of the original Shanghai Museum of Natural History. It is said that after chongqing dug up this dinosaur skeleton, a total of four or five models were made, and one of them was sent to the Shanghai Museum of Natural History. I bought its excavation album when I was about 7-8 years old and fell in love with the girdosaur dinosaur with its slender neck.
This is a model of a pair of 1:1 size Chinese dragon birds. Yes, dinosaurs aren't all behemoths, and the pair of little guys who look like lizards were initially mistaken for primitive birds because of the traces of primitive feathers in the fossils (hence the name they have now), but later discovered that they were small carnivorous dinosaurs.
Chinese dragon bird model details. I thought it was also made of copper, but I didn't expect it to be resin... I don't know if Zhao Chuang has a colored version of this pair of dinosaurs.
Of course, how can you not buy a souvenir after seeing such an exhibition? PNSO opened a souvenir shopping area in both 5/6f exhibition areas, where you can buy dinosaur models that I bought on Taobao before. Since I found that their on-site sales price was actually cheaper than Taobao, I still couldn't help but buy a few "four-legged snakes" to go home.
This is the goods replenished at the exhibition site this time, namely Lufeng Dragon, Manchuria Dragon and Shandong Dragon. Yes, they are all restored models of dinosaur fossils unearthed in China. This type of dinosaur basically does not expect overseas model manufacturers to design and produce (safari and papo do not have these dragons), so they can only collect pnso works. Fortunately, although the pnso model is a soft glue material, the weight is not as heavy as the pappo, but the accurate shape and good details are their advantages.
Below are three detailed images of dinosaurs. Well, netizens who are interested in them can search online on their own. These three dinosaurs cost me two hundred and thirty or forty dollars, an average of eighty-one, and the price is OK.
Take a group photo with the original two pnso (Yellow River Dragon and Pan-footed Dragon) at home. As a reminder, the huge Yellow River dragon at the exhibition site only sells for 179 yuan, and the lowest price of Taobao is also 200 yuan, which is really cost-effective.
Finally, there is the dinosaur encyclopedia at home. These four-legged snakes already occupy two grids in my "Alibaba Treasury." The upper layer is basically papo and safari and some domestic imitations, and the lower layer is mostly recently bought pnso.
tips：
1. Although Yang Yang used beautiful words to make notes for Zhao Chuang's scientific paintings and sculptures, as I said earlier, this is not a recreational exhibition but a real science exhibition. Therefore, if you take the child to see it, it is necessary for parents to do some guidance and explanation, otherwise it is difficult for the child to understand it alone;
2. The event will be held from June 24 to August 14, the address is "Great Shanghai Times Square" (Lane Crawford) 5f and 6f, No. 99 Huaihai Road, Shanghai, no tickets are required. Due to the small scale of the exhibition, it is generally seen for more than half an hour. Self-driving cars can be parked in the basement of the mall or on the back road, and the parking fee is 15 yuan;
