Nanjing Paleontology Museum

Even the pickiest kid will be blown away by the star of this museum: a 22-meter-long, nine-meter-tall skeleton of a Mamenchisaurus. Displayed near the entrance hall, the herbivorous dinosaur, unearthed in central China, has a neck almost long enough to reach the moon.

 

Visitors will have plenty of opportunities to play Darwin. As an affiliate of the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology, this little-known austere space boils millions of years down to two stories of fossils and bones of ancient plants, insects and animals.
