Located in Nantong, Jiangsu, this modern humanistic landmark integrates scientific exploration with human sentiments. The museum utilizes immersive interactive experiences, combining light, sound, and intelligent devices to create a cross-temporal scientific feast. The aerospace and marine exhibits recreate the stunning moments of Chinese astronauts exiting spacecraft using holographic projection, while the marine exhibit uses scaled-up ancient ship models and nautical instruments to tell the story of Zheng He’s seven voyages to the West, allowing visitors to touch the pulse of cultural exchange. The VR space station within the museum allows for interstellar roaming in a zero-gravity environment, while the children’s science laboratory is equipped with 3D printers and programming robots, stimulating young people’s innovative thinking. A special “Jianghai Civilization Corridor” uses the entrepreneurial spirit of Nantong native scholar Zhang Litu (late Qing industrialist) as a thread, connecting the evolution of modern industrial civilization. The museum’s collection of copies of Qing Dynasty Nantong native scientist Li Bao’s (late Qing mathematician) manuscripts is a precious link between ancient and modern times. This science museum is not only a temple of scientific enlightenment but also a modern interpretation of Nantong’s “Jianghai Culture.” When children touch the stars in the aerospace simulator and parents listen to the tides in the marine exhibit, this building is writing a new chapter in Nantong’s spirit of innovation.
