Adventure awaits after dusk

Natural History Museum of China turns into an evening destination where science, art and imagination come alive, Wang Qian reports.

As the summer heat settles over Beijing, the Natural History Museum of China is casting a magical glow after dark. With its highly anticipated "Night at the Museum" program launched on July 16 and running until Aug 15, the museum has transformed into an evening hub of science, art and discovery.

Extending its opening hours till 9 pm, the program offers museumgoers a unique opportunity to explore the marvels of nature under the cloak of dusk.

"This year's Night at the Museum retains our classic activity categories while introducing innovative formats," says Wang Shiwen, deputy Party secretary of the Natural History Museum of China. "It combines technology and culture, effectively bridging the gap between the public and the wonders of natural science."
