Hanoi Museum fossils exhibition reveals prehistoric life on Earth

via Hanoi Times/Vietnam Net, 24 November 2023: The Hanoi Museum, in collaboration with the Hanoi Fossil Museum, is hosting the “History of Earth Formation through a Fossil Collection” exhibition, featuring a vast array of fossils dating back millions of years. These specimens, deemed of high historical and scientific value, help reconstruct the ancient world and are complemented by a 3D mapping room using virtual reality to depict the earth’s formation. This exhibition, part of the Hanoi Creative Design Festival 2023, reinforces the museum’s commitment to integrating creative activities into cultural experiences.

The exhibition “History of Earth Formation through a Fossil Collection”, which was opened in the Hanoi Museum early this week, features rare artifacts revealing the life lived in prehistory.

The event is jointly organized by the Hanoi Museum and Hanoi Fossil Museum, which currently owns a collection of thousands of precious documents and more than 15,000 fossil specimens collected from many places in the world and Vietnam dating back millions of years.

Most of the above specimens have been certified as relics and antiques by the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports. They are specimens of high historical and scientific value, helping recreate a Paleoland – traces of ancient life.
