Shanghai Natural History Museum
Located in Jing鈥檃n District, the newly opened facility is actually a branch of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, replacing a previous museum on Yan鈥檃n Road that closed last year after 58 years in operation.
The newcomer is one of China鈥檚 largest museums, with nearly 290,000 specimens in its collection and room to display 11,000 items at any given time, including a complete skeleton of a 140-million-year-old mamenchisaurus.
With five floors in total, the museum can hold over 5,000 people at a time. To ensure a safe and comfortable experience, officials say they will slow down or stop admissions once 4,000 people are inside.
Food and beverages are available for purchase on the first basement floor. A dessert house and vending machines are also on site.
