Exhibition of Asia's largest fin whale skeleton specimens unveiled at Shanghai Pudong Airport

China News Service, Shanghai, October 1 (Reporter Yin Liqin) On October 1, the "World Hub, Whale Color Pudong, Asia's Largest Fin Whale Skeleton Specimens Exhibition" was officially displayed to the public at the mixed layer of Terminal 2 of Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

In March 2017, a fin whale unfortunately stranded and died in Shanghai waters. The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum took four years to complete the specimen preparation. It is reported that the specimen is about 24 meters long and weighs about 3 tons. It is made up of more than 200 bones and is a treasure of the "Treasure of the Museum" level. The exhibition site also focuses on themes such as marine ecological protection and whale culture, using graphic display boards and digital multimedia interactive methods to build an immersive science popularization scene, turning the airport into a science popularization exhibition hall without walls.

This exhibition is not only a cross-border cooperation of "aviation + museum", but also Shanghai Airport's practice of promoting the in-depth integration of cultural, business, tourism and sports exhibitions and deepening the creation of the "China Young" humanities brand, allowing the public to unconsciously slow down during the journey and encounter humanities, science, technology and art unexpectedly. In the future, Shanghai Airport Group will also launch more themed, miniaturized, "frequently seen and always new" exhibitions and public services in the terminal building, striving to create the first stop for global passengers to experience the city's cultural tourism golden signature of "come to Shanghai and see the exhibitions".

On the same day, in order to provide passengers with a richer cultural travel experience, Pudong International Airport also simultaneously launched the "Moon Rises from the Sea, Wind Comes from the East" tour event. Instrumental music flash mobs, choruses, and Chinese and Western musical instrument ensembles were staged in the departure and arrival halls of the two terminals, attracting Chinese and foreign tourists to stop and watch and take photos.
