The Museum of CUG

　　The Museum of China University of Geosciences, which was rebuilt in 1982, is a natural science museum that focuses on the origination and evolution of the earth and life. Occupying an area of 1,100 square meters, it accommodates nine exhibition rooms of the Earth’s Mystery, Origin and Evolution of Life, Minerals, Rocks, Gem and Jade, Metallic Ore Deposit, Non-Metallic Ore Deposit and Ore Deposit of Energy Resources and Synthesis Exhibition, among which exhibition rooms of the Earth’s Mystery, Origin and Evolution, and Gem and Jade, are most suitable to conduct popular science education.

　　The Museum boasts a collection of over 30,000 specimens including over 2,000 rare ones like the well-known Manchousaurus skeleton from Heilongjiang Province, Heping Yongchuan dinosaur skeleton and the skeleton of dinosaur with a parrot’s peak and specimens of many precious minerals and gems and jades.

　　The Museum pays close attention to popular science education and has made outstanding achievements in performing popular geological education to all visitors, especially the primary and the middle-school students. In 1997, the museum was conferred as “ Advanced Collectivity in Universal Science Education of Hubei Province” ; in 1998, it was entitled as the “ National Education Base for Popular Sciences” and the “ National Education Base of Science and Technology for Adolescents” . The museum is also one of the key tourist scenary spots for science and education in Wuhan. The project for a new geological museum was approved by the Ministry of Education and financially guaranteed by Shao Yifu Fund. The new museum is expected to have a floor area of 10,000 square meters and to open in 2004. By then the new addition of the modified museum will be undoubtedly a landmark building for the cultural and educational cause of Wuhan City. We sincerely welcome people from all walks of life both at home and abroad to visit the museum and offer valuable suggestions.
