Shanghai Natural History Museum
China’s growing international status signals a responsibility to construct a more harmonious and sustainable relationship with nature and to model environmental awareness for the rest of the world. The Shanghai Natural History Museum leads the way in educating the public and shepherding the country into a more sustainable future. 
The storyline of the museum traces the evolution of the universe from the big bang, through the successive eras of geological change and the evolution of life, to the present. Exhibits not only investigate how the ever changing physical conditions of the planet effect the diversity of life found here, but also explore how the natural environment gave shape to the early development of civilizations across the globe.
