Shanghai Natural History Museum - Summer 2016

in #travel7 years ago

This visit was back in July 2016, and I ended up not posting anything about it anywhere. I kind of regret that, the museum is incredibly huge and amazing, and more people should know this. I was there for more than 3 hours and didn't get to see everything.

This was the path leading to the museum's entrance

It is one of the largest museums of natural sciences in all of China, it has five floors. 

It works from Tuesday to Sunday (from 9:00 to 17:15), and the tickets for adults cost 30 RMB (around 4.4 USD).

Below are some of the best photos I took there (Sadly, I didn't take many).


The view from the bottom floor


Similar view, but from a higher floor


A quick timelapse I made at the dinosaurs and mammals exhibition


An upper view from the "Walk into Africa" exhibition


I loved how there were many rooms just like this one, where you could sit down for a bit, because it was a bit tiring walking around the museum sometimes


Then, the classic souvenir shop to end the visit!


To end this post, here's me triumphing over my fear of butterflies, taken by a friend of mine
