Dalian Nature Museum

The Dalian Nature Museum is one of the largest nature museums in China. It is located in the southern part of the city by the sea. The building of the museum is made in the traditional European style, since its builders in the early twentieth century were specialists from Russia. The exposition of the museum consists of 12 halls, each of which is dedicated to a specific topic. There are more than 200 thousand exhibits.

In the many windows and stands of the Museum of Nature, visitors can see dinosaur skeletons and ancient fossils. The museum staff will be happy to talk about various features of the structure of the Earth and its natural landscapes. However, the most popular exposition is devoted to marine themes, where dummies and real skeletons of giant marine mammals, crabs, starfish, canned algae, stuffed sharks are exhibited. There is even a pregnant female whale, inside which there is a 1.5-meter cub, and many more fascinating exhibits.
