The Vietnam Nature Museum on Thursday launched in Hanoi an exhibit hall showcasing the natural evolution process of the Earth and life on it since its dawn.
The hall, located at 18 Hoang Quoc Viet, Cau Giay District, showcases artifacts and photos on how life on Earth was formed some four billion years ago.
The hall boasts evolutionary trees, different geological phases with fossil samples which dated back to the Precambrian (or Pre-Cambrian) period, the large span of time in the Earth’s history before the current Phanerozoic Eon. It spans from the formation of Earth about 4600 million years ago (Ma) to the start of the Cambrian Period, when macroscopic hard-shelled animals first appeared in abundance.
The 300m2 hall, which comprises a 3D film screening room, is launched to commemorate the Vietnam Day of Science and Technology and International Museum Day (May 18).
Founded in 2006, the Vietnam Nature Museum, which is open every day except Monday and Tet (Lunar New Year), is currently home to over 40,000 specimens of animals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and plants, along with new breeds recently discovered in Vietnam.
