Shanghai Meteorological Museum 3/4

The Shanghai Meteorological Museum is an excellent venue that integrates the history of Shanghai's meteorological development, displays of meteorological literature collections, interactive meteorological science popularization, and patriotic education. The museum has exhibition areas such as the history of modern and contemporary meteorological science and technology development in Shanghai, meteorological science and technology achievements after the founding of New China, and meteorological services for the construction of Shanghai city. It also has interactive experience areas such as weather forecast experience, meteorological observation practice, and meteorological VR experience. When you come here, the first thing that comes into view is a green lawn and the Xujiahui National Meteorological Observation Station located on the lawn. The low-standing white boxes, although they do not look impressive, have a 'great responsibility' and constantly monitor and record the weather data of Xujiahui. Then, under the guidance of the commentator, you enter the Shanghai Meteorological Museum, which is a European-style building with a red brick and brown tile exterior, carrying the hundred-year history of meteorology in Shanghai. During the visit, under the professional explanation of the commentator, the story of each exhibit in the museum will be narrated one by one. From professional meteorological symbols, to professional weather measuring instruments, interesting stories of meteorologists, to the development and changes of weather records. In the Shanghai Meteorological Museum, what you can feel is not only a dazzling array of 'weather collections' and a long history, but also through notebooks, handwriting, and paintings that have been preserved to this day, you can feel the enthusiasm and persistence of generations of meteorologists for meteorology over the past 151 years.
