General situation

Gansu Geological Museum, located at No.6 Tuanjie Road, tanjianzi, Chengguan District, Lanzhou City, started construction in 2007. It has a construction area of 12500 square meters and an exhibition area of 4860 square meters. It has a preface hall, earth hall, mineral and Rock Hall, gemstone hall, life evolution hall, land resources hall, geological environment hall, mineral resources hall, 4D dome cinema hall and temporary exhibition hall. More than 30000 geological, mineral, paleontological, mineral and rock specimens are collected in the museum. Among them, there are a large number of national treasures such as Daxia dragon, Lanzhou dragon and Gansu bird.

Here, whether it is the rusty ore, or the snow-white crystal gem; whether it is the scene of the Yellow River dragon, or the crystal of fantastic shape, all hide a moving story, which contains people's pursuit and fantasy of earth science. Through these exhibits, we can see the rich geological and cultural heritage created by our predecessors, and the preservation, research, exhibition and interpretation of geological culture by people today.

Development history

Gansu geological museum was founded in 1943, formerly known as the geological exhibition room. It was founded by Mr. Wang rilun, a senior geologist in China. It is one of the earliest geological museums in China. After years of efforts, the museum has collected and displayed nearly 30000 ore, mineral, jade and paleontological fossil specimens. Such as gold ore specimens, nickel ore specimens, shovel tooth fossils, ivory fossils, rhinoceros head fossils and many other specimens are very precious, among which there are some unique precious specimens in China. These specimens fully reflect the general situation of the basic geology, mineral geology and geological relics of our province. The museum has also become a national and provincial popular science education base for teenagers. However, due to the poor construction and disrepair, Gansu Geological Museum has hidden dangers, so it closed in 1999. The closure of the museum has a great impact on the resources publicity, introduction projects, geoscience research and popular science education in our province. People from all walks of life, especially primary, middle and primary schools, have responded strongly. Deputies to the provincial people's Congress and the provincial CPPCC have repeatedly put forward proposals to rebuild and open the library. With the support of the provincial Party committee and the provincial government, the new project of Gansu geological museum was officially approved at the end of 2003, with a building area of 12000 square meters. In the design of publicity and popular science education, new scientific and technological means such as sound, electricity and light will also be used.
