Zhejiang Museum of Natural History, Natural history museum in West Lake Cultural Square, Hangzhou, China.

The Zhejiang Museum of Natural History sits at West Lake Cultural Square and displays fossils, minerals, plants, and animals from the region. The collection holds over 200,000 specimens that document the natural diversity of the province.

The institution started in 1929 during an exposition at West Lake and was originally part of a larger museum. In 1984 it became independent and has since focused on documenting the province's natural heritage.

The museum's name traces to the 1929 West Lake Exposition, whose aquatic, plant, animal and mineral displays led the provincial government to found the West Lake Museum. Its three permanent sections are "Earth Life Stories", "The Rich and Strange World of Life" and "Green Zhejiang". The Anji branch, opened in 2018, is designed for hands-on leisure visits.

The Hangzhou branch occupies Block B of West Lake Cultural Square, reached by metro lines 1, 3 and 19 at West Lake Cultural Square station, or by buses such as 2, 38, 76, 156 and 502. It is open Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 to 17:00, and closed on Mondays; admission is free.

The institution houses rare fossils such as dinosaur eggs from Jiangshan and pterosaur remains from other local dig sites. Special marine exhibitions showcase the size and diversity of ocean creatures that once inhabited the region.
