Review of Beijing Science and Technology Museum

The newly completed China Science and Technology Museum looks like a giant Rubik's Cube, located in the central area of the National Olympic Park in Beijing. The new museum is a modern comprehensive national science and technology museum with international advanced level. It is divided into five theme exhibition halls: Science Paradise, Light of China, Exploration and Discovery, Science and Technology and Life, Challenge and Future. It is equipped with public space exhibition area, four special-effect cinemas, such as Cosmic Theater, Giant Screen Cinema, Dynamic Cinema and 4D Cinema.

The first floor of the new museum is the place with the largest number of "large" exhibits in the Science and Technology Museum. Entering from the east gate, visitors will see the popular science corridor, a complex mechanical device "mechanical melody" composed of various gears, connecting rods, cylinders and pistons; Entering from the south gate, it is the world's largest indoor sculpture "spiral of life" with a height of 47 meters ...

As the only popular science exhibition in China that comprehensively introduces China's ancient science and technology, the first impression of Huaxia Light Exhibition Hall on the first floor of the new building is "pride". Huaxia Light Exhibition Hall is the only exhibition hall in China that comprehensively introduces the achievements of ancient science and technology in China. The exhibition hall covers an area of 2,3 square meters. Compared with the old museum, it not only doubles the area, but also has a great breakthrough in the form of expression. Basically, all the exhibits can move, play and perform, which greatly improves the interactivity and interest of the exhibits. The whole exhibition skillfully uses all kinds of advanced display means and information technology to transform ancient scientific and technological cultural relics and literature records into movable models and interactive exhibits, so that the audience can understand the structure and principle of ancient inventions through personal experience and operation. The layout of the exhibition hall also strives to be retro and realistic. The special exhibits such as the ancient observatory of Taosi and the hydraulic spinning machine can let the audience personally appreciate the great creation of the sages and understand the structure and principle of ancient inventions.

The huge structure of the pedal waterwheel completely reproduces the process of human water intake, and children are scrambling to sit on it and experience the fun of taking water with their feet!

The exploration and discovery theme exhibition hall on the second floor of the new building is divided into two halls, Hall A and Hall B. There are 166 exhibits and 22 exhibits, which are divided into eight exhibition areas, such as the wonder of the universe, the wonder of matter, the law of movement and the rhyme of sound. Dialogue with Mendeleev shows the discovery process of the periodic law of elements; Design a "small ball travel record" of the small ball movement route by yourself; You can also learn knowledge by swinging "* * * swinging" ... The exhibits combined with various forms of expression are full of the basic principles of science. Among the several exhibitions experienced, the exhibition "Finding Yourself" connected by comprehensive multidisciplinary high-tech biometric technology impressed visitors the most. The exhibition takes various forms such as mechanical interaction, video demonstration, phantom imaging, etc., and builds an exhibition framework around some important directions of scientific exploration. According to the principle of "questions are more important than answers, processes are more important than results, and methods are more important than knowledge", the exhibition items are designed, and a combination of various display means is adopted to create a scientific practice scene of exploration and discovery. By making people feel the epic shock in the process of human exploration of nature, we can enlighten the scientific spirit, and by integrating visitors into the experience of scientific practice, we can enjoy the joy and inspiration in the exploration process.

The Technology and Life Exhibition Hall is located on the third floor of the new building. It is divided into six theme exhibition areas, namely, the foundation of food and clothing, the road to health, the road to home, the bridge of information, the convenience of transportation and the bridge of machinery, with about 3 exhibits. The exhibition hall takes the basic necessities of people's life as the core thread running through the whole theme exhibition hall, and cooperates with diversified, situational and artistic exhibition forms to spread the concept of people-oriented science and technology. It not only pays attention to the great improvement of social life brought by the development of science and technology, but also shows the exploration and efforts made by human beings to meet the challenges of * * *, so that visitors can think and understand during their visits and experiences and feel the benefits and benefits brought by scientific and technological innovation.

The Challenge and Future Exhibition Hall is located on the fourth floor of the new building. It is divided into seven exhibition areas, including Earth Talk, Energy World, Ocean Development and Space Exploration, with 138 exhibits. Based on the clue of "challenge-solution-future", the exhibition hall draws people's attention to sustainable development with the major challenges facing the world, and inspires the public to actively respond to challenges and create a harmonious future through the overall structure and coherent display from challenge to future. For example, through the large-scale three-dimensional sand table, visitors can directly see the changes brought by climate change to China.

The five permanent theme exhibition halls are exquisitely designed, vivid and flexible, and the public exhibition halls scattered on all floors of the new building are equally wonderful. Focusing on the theme of "beauty of innovation and beauty of harmony", the exhibition hall is "harmonious but different" from the permanent exhibition hall, which not only echoes each other, but also forms its own system. The establishment of large-scale exhibits such as ball array, spiral of life, mechanical melody, bubble imaging and wheel of time will show the affinity of science and technology, and let visitors feel the charm of science and technology in a beautiful environment.
