Establishment of Qingke Natural History Museum

Geoscience, a university discipline, including the important topics of human research on the earth and biological evaluation for hundreds of millions of years, is the basis for achieving sustainable economic and social development. The Natural Museum concentrates on the mysteries of earth science and presents the pursuit of human society for beauty and the future.

Located on the 3rd floor of Qidu Young Scientist π Community, Qingke Natural History Museummainly displays the fossils of "Jehol Biota" in western Liaoning, including "dinosaur fossil model and Jehol Biota fossil display", "Paleontological animal evolution", "plant and insect fossil", and "youth fossil research and experiment base".

Qingke Natural History Museumis a "window" for the exhibition and exchange of geosciences in Lucheng District, a collection and research center for rare geological and minerals, a base for the popularization of earth science and scientific and cultural quality education for young people, and an ideal place for scientific research, science popularization, viewing, leisure, entertainment and stone appreciation. It will become an important support of scientific and cultural innovation in Lucheng, fill the gap in science popularization and innovation bases, and will also become one of the popular attractions with tourism, innovation, science popularization and other functions in Lucheng. The museum consists of four parts: dinosaur fossil model display, popularization of the evolutionary science of Jehol biota in western Liaoning, teenagers’ science popularization education base and fossil research center.

·Dinosaur fossil model display

A huge pterosaur fossil model overhung in the open atrium on the 3rd floor and two Monolophosaurus fossil models placed on the ground.

·Popularization of the evolutionary science of Jehol biota in western Liaoning

Known as "one of the most important paleontological discoveries in the world in the 20th century", a world-class fossil treasure, and the Pompeii in Mesozoic Era, the Jehol Biota has great scientific significance to the study of animal evolution. There are about 100 precious fossils covering the evolutionary process of gastropods, fish, amphibians, birds, mammals and other creatures displayed here.

·Teenagers' science popularization education base

The museum will regularly hold activities including earth science, fossil science youth fossil research, etc, to build a base for the popularization of earth science knowledge and youth scientific and cultural quality education.

National innovative ability and competitiveness depend on whether a country's education can cultivate a large number of innovative talents who adapt to the development of the times. Teenagers are the future of a country.

Popularization of science for teenagers plays an important and decisive role in promoting quality education, endowing education with innovative functions, improving the scientific quality, and implementing the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country with talents and the strategy of sustainable development.

·Fossil research center

A series of scientific activities will be carried out here such as fossil collection, restoration and research.

Fossil research is an important part of the research work in the development and evolution of the whole paleontology on the earth. Through the excavation and restoration of fossils, the physical characteristics and living habits of paleontology can be intuitively understood, so as to effectively study the survival mode and evolution process of paleontology.
