Tianjin Natural History Museum, Natural science museum in Hexi District, Tianjin, China.
The Tianjin Natural History Museum is a science institution that houses more than 380,000 biological and geological specimens across three floors spanning 12,000 square meters. The collections cover different areas of natural history and present scientific content in organized sections.
This institution began in 1914 as the Hoangho Paiho Museum, established by Émile Licent who collected 200,000 specimens during his expeditions in the Yellow River Basin. Those early collections form the foundation of what the museum displays today.
This institution serves as a place where people come to learn about life and nature through organized collections and displays. The exhibitions connect prehistoric life with modern organisms in ways that make science accessible to everyone.
The museum is located on Youyi Road and provides audio tours in three languages, making the visit accessible to different visitors. Accessible facilities and specialized areas like an audio-visual center help guide you through the collections.
The entrance hall displays dinosaur skeletons including Tyrannosaurus Rex, Mamenchisaurus, Omeisaurus, and Bellusaurus specimens. These striking displays usually make a memorable first impression when you enter.
