The Shenzhen Natural History Museum (NHM Shenzhen) is the first large-scale natural history museum in Southern China and a landmark cultural destination in one of the world's fastest-growing cities. Designed as a seamless fusion of architecture, landscape and exhibition, the museum invites visitors to explore the history of our planet through immersive, technology-driven experiences.
ATELIER BRÜCKNER was responsible for the general planning, exhibition design and scenography of the museum's four main galleries – Universe Hall, Earth Hall, Evolution Hall and Dinosaur Hall – as well as the associated public and education areas. A dual concept of "idle mode" and "show mode" combines interactive learning with cinematic storytelling, transforming visitors from observers into active participants. Together, the galleries create a dynamic journey through the universe, the Earth, the evolution of life and the age of dinosaurs, establishing the Shenzhen Natural History Museum as a new benchmark for contemporary natural history museums.
