Geological Museum of Anhui Province

Anhui Provincial Geological Museum is a provincial geological museum in China. It was opened in May 1988. There are more than 2000 geological specimens in the museum, including the late Precambrian Huainan fauna, Triassic Chaohu dragon and other treasures. The exhibition area is 1460 square meters, and the exhibition room is fully enclosed. There are exhibition rooms for comprehensive geology, mineral resources, gems, jade and colored stones, mainly displaying the paleontology, minerals, rocks, minerals, gems, jade, colored stones, stone carvings, remote sensing geological images and foreign geological specimens of Anhui Province. In October 2012, the new Anhui Provincial Geological Museum was officially opened. The new Anhui Provincial Geological Museum is located in the cultural and Museum Park of Hefei administrative district, with a total construction area of 26500 square meters, including an exhibition area of 16500 square meters. There are nearly 50000 specimens in the museum, including minerals and paleontological fossils. On October 1, the museum started trial operation and received more than 6000 visitors per day.

The Provincial Geological Museum has four permanent exhibition halls, including the earth hall, the life evolution hall, the dinosaur hall, the mineral and Rock Hall, as well as supporting facilities such as 4D popular science cinema and functional academic lecture hall. From now on to the end of this month, a special exhibition of Lingbi stone will be opened on the ground floor of the geological museum. After the special exhibition of Lingbi stone, Anhui famous stones will be exhibited one after another.

Geological Museum of Anhui Province

Anhui Provincial Geological Museum is located in Anhui Provincial Cultural Museum Park by Swan Lake in Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province. The Geological Museum of Anhui Province is a museum of Geology and natural sciences. It is one of the cultural projects of Anhui Province. It is a modern, high-tech and unique geological and paleontological Museum. It is a collection and research center of rare geological and mineral specimens. It is also a base for popularization of land and resources knowledge and scientific and cultural quality education for young people.

The total construction area of the museum is 26495 square meters, and the exhibition area is 16902 square meters. The new museum has six permanent exhibition halls, including the preface hall, the earth hall, the life evolution hall, the dinosaur hall, the mineral rock hall, and the resources and environment hall. It also has a atrium leisure area, a 4D popular science cinema, a multi-functional academic lecture hall, a temporary exhibition hall, and an outdoor landscape area.

In September 2018, Anhui Geological Museum was approved as a national second-class Museum by China Museum Association.

Historical evolution

The predecessor of Anhui Geological Museum is Anhui Geological and Mineral Museum.

In May 1986, Anhui Geology and mineral resources exhibition hall was prepared to be built, which belongs to Anhui Institute of Geological Sciences under Anhui Bureau of Geology and mineral resources.

In September 1987, Anhui Provincial Museum of Geology and mineral resources was renamed Anhui Provincial Museum of geology.

In 1997, the Geological Museum of Anhui Province was assigned to Anhui Geological Experimental Research Institute, a subordinate unit of Anhui Bureau of Geology and mineral resources.

On February 26, 2004, with the approval of the office of Anhui provincial organization committee and the reply of Anhui provincial organization committee, it was agreed to establish Anhui paleontological fossil Museum on the basis of Anhui Provincial Geological Museum, which originally belonged to Anhui Provincial Geological Experimental Research Institute. At the same time, Anhui Provincial Institute of paleontological fossil science and Anhui Provincial Geological Museum were put up, which are directly under the Department of land and resources of Anhui Province government-affiliated institutions.

On April 1, 2008, the construction of Anhui Geological Museum (Anhui paleontological fossil Museum) was officially started. The new construction of Anhui Geological Museum has been highly valued and supported by Anhui provincial Party committee and government, and has been listed in the "Eleventh Five Year" development plan of Anhui Province and the "861" action plan of Anhui Province.

In 2012, the name of Anhui paleontological fossil museum was changed to Anhui Geological Museum, and Anhui Institute of paleontological fossil science and Anhui paleontological fossil museum were added. On October 10, the new Anhui Provincial Geological Museum officially opened and opened to the public free of charge.

On July 19, 2013, the library was temporarily closed for rectification and improvement.

On November 2, 2014, the museum was reopened and opened to the public free of charge.

Venue composition

overview

The permanent sequence hall, earth hall, life evolution hall, dinosaur hall, resources and environment hall, mineral and Rock Hall of Anhui Provincial Geological Museum are equipped with 4D popular science cinema, atrium rest area, multi-functional academic lecture hall, temporary exhibition hall and outdoor landscape area. With specimens, pictures, characters and scenes, combined with modern scientific and technological means, the museum systematically displays the earth's structure, sea land changes and fossil mysteries, Biological evolution, rocks and minerals, etc.

Lobby

The preface hall is located at the entrance of the East first floor of the south building, with an area of 480 square meters and a floor height of 6.6 meters. This area is a place where all kinds of visitors are concentrated and scattered. In the middle of the entrance to the hall is a natural crystal ball with a diameter of 1.61 meters and a weight of 5.7 tons. On the right side is the white marble relief wall, which depicts the evolution of life on earth; on the left side is the service desk, which provides consulting and guidance services.

Earth Hall

The height of the first half of the hall is 10 meters, and the height of the second half is 2.6 meters (including the rest area on the second floor). With the theme of "earth the cradle of life", the earth hall highlights the formation, structure and evolution of the earth, and further reveals the relationship between the earth and the origin and evolution of life in the process of formation and development. In the hall, a curved led earth (up to 4 meters in diameter) is used to dynamically introduce the evolution history of the earth, and the exhibition boards are used to explain the evolution history of the earth. The second part mainly uses modern scientific and technological means to simulate the internal and external dynamic effects of the earth, such as volcanic eruption, weathering movement and iceberg movement in the form of scenes, and mainly introduces the orogeny of Anhui Dabie Mountains and the real-time seismic belt distribution map of China in the form of multimedia combined with pictures and text instructions.
