Lufeng Dinosaur Museum, Museum in Lufeng, Yunnan, China

The Lufeng Dinosaur Museum displays four complete dinosaur skeletons in its main hall, with these specimens ranging between 2.4 and 9 meters in length. The exhibition also features numerous fossil remains and archaeological finds that document the region's deep prehistoric past.

In 1938 the Chinese-American geologist and palaeontologist C. C. Bien identified numerous Jurassic dinosaur skeletons at Lufeng, most famously Lufengosaurus, a prosauropod of the family Plateosauridae. The museum itself was first planned in 1989 and opened on 26 October 1991, with its name inscribed by the sociologist Fei Xiaotong. It was rated a National Grade III museum in May 2009, and in 2014 a Lufeng workstation of Yunnan University's key laboratory of palaeontology was set up here.

The museum's five permanent halls cover dinosaurs, gilt bronze statues, Lufeng blue-and-white porcelain, local historical relics and a stele corridor. The name on the building was written by the sociologist Fei Xiaotong. Two further fossil-bearing halls stand at the Dawadinosaur Mountain site outside town.

The museum provides guided tours with expert explanations to help you understand the displays and fossils. Tickets can be purchased at the entrance, and group rates are available for school visits.

The museum also runs two fossil-bearing halls at the Dawa Dinosaur Mountain site outside the main building, where dinosaur bones are displayed in the rock as they were found. The main building on Jinshan South Road was opened on 26 October 1991, and its name was written by the sociologist Fei Xiaotong.
