Natural History Museum Ⅰ

As the first large-scale natural history museum of China, Beijing Natural History Museum is located near the over bridge on the central axis of the southern City in Beijing. It backs on Temple of Heaven and faces the modern Tianqiao Theater, having special cultural environment.

It covers an area of 12,000 square meters (3 acres) with a floor space of 24,000 square meters (6 acres). The most mysterious building in the museum should be 'Tian Jiabing Building' which invested by the Hong Kong Businessman Tian Jiabing and Beijing City Government. In the building there stored over 200,000 pieces of fine specimens, most of which are in a class by themselves at home and abroad such as the world-famous skull of the Yellow River Elephant, 26-meter-long dragon fossil, and the unique mummy fossil of dinosaurs in China.
