Chaoyang Paleontological Fossil Museum: Crossing billions of years, encountering ancient life

The first "digitalized" paleontological exhibition hall in China

Chaoyang, known as the "Fossil Capital of the World", not only witnessed the blooming of the first flower and the soaring of the first bird, but also became a treasure trove of ancient fossils. The Chaoyang Museum of Paleontological Fossils has been dedicated to the collection, research, and exhibition of fossils for many years.

With the passage of time, problems such as outdated museum facilities and single exhibition methods have gradually emerged. In order to better protect and display precious paleontological fossil resources, and promote the high-quality development of the cultural and tourism industry, museums have undergone a new upgrade and transformation based on the principles of the most authoritative, systematic, scientific, unique, and comprehensive "Five Worlds".

Craftsmanship extracts ancient treasures

After the renovation, the number of ancient fossil exhibits has increased from 435 to 2025, setting a record for the largest exhibition scale among similar museums in China. Faced with such a large number of precious exhibits, we have adopted a large number of high-quality wall showcases, in wall showcases, lifting showcases, curved showcases, combination showcases, and circular showcases, selecting low reflection glass materials. The frame of the exhibition Showcase is made of high-quality metal materials, which are not only sturdy and durable, but also appear simple and high-end. The line design is smooth and elegant, combined with professional museum lighting equipment, effectively reducing the damage of light to cultural relics.

In terms of hardware facilities, the constant temperature and humidity control system of the display Showcase has also been updated and renovated, creating a more stable preservation environment for precious fossils in the collection.

Exquisite display Showcase design

Showcase design pursues simplicity rather than simplicity! In order to better showcase various precious exhibits, our professional design team has used curved large display showcases based on the shape/series of the exhibits, and selected a special type of glass - anti bending glass. However, anti bending glass is prone to bending due to external compression or its own gravity. To solve the problem of glass bending, we have taken multiple process improvement measures, selected special materials, and undergone multiple layers of processing to ensure that the bending performance of the glass is fully utilized.

The museum upgrade and renovation project is of a huge scale, and we faced the dual challenges of large size and short time. In the end, we overcame numerous difficulties and delivered it to a high standard. This not only demonstrates Boxin's service spirit of fully meeting customer expectations, but also strongly proves Boxin's hard power to overcome difficult projects. We not only bring a brand new exhibition experience to the audience, but also comprehensively promote the first national first-class museum and world-class fossil park brand in western Liaoning, injecting strong impetus into the high-quality integrated development of Chaoyang's cultural, sports and tourism industry.
