Zigong Dinosaur Museum (Chinese: 自贡恐龙博物馆；pinyin: zìgòngkǒnglóng bówùguǎn): It is the first specialized dinosaur museum in China and one of the world’s three largest dinosaur museums. At present, the museum sits on top of a large concentration of dinosaur fossils — both in terms of quantity but also of diversity. Covering an area of over 66,000 square meters, Zigong Dinosaur Museum has a collection of fossil specimens almost including all the known dinosaur species in the Jurassic of 205-135 million years ago. It was regarded as “the best dinosaur museum in the world” by American Global Geography Magazine.
