Nanning, December 2 (Xinhua) — The Timiryazev State Biological Museum of Russia recently signed a new strategic cooperation agreement with the Dinosaur Odyssey Science Museum in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, southern China.
A Russian delegation led by museum director Igor Ryabokon expanded cooperation with its Chinese partner after visiting the "Dinosaur Odyssey" paleontological reconstruction base. During the visit, 22 three-dimensional paleontological models reconstructed at a 1:1 scale using artificial intelligence and high-precision 3D printing were inspected.
"We were very impressed with the speed, quality, and professionalism of the work. This is an incredibly large-scale production, a handcrafted process that achieves the utmost realism in the models," said I. Ryabokon. "We are very pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with such professional partners."
The new five-year agreement includes joint paleontological research, the organization of traveling immersive exhibitions, and the joint development of creative products that combine elements of Chinese and Russian culture.
"Thanks to our colleagues from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, we are implementing a very important project for our museum and for Russian visitors. We will be the first in the world to display realistic reconstructions of dinosaurs discovered in our country," he emphasized.
"This way, our visitors will be able to learn more about dinosaur discoveries in Russia over the past centuries and their existence. Furthermore, we're confident that some of our young visitors will eventually want to become scientists. After all, the main goal of a biology museum is to popularize science," he added.
As a reminder, the initial contract for the supply of 22 models was signed in May of this year at the 21st China International Cultural Industries Expo in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, southern China.
Both sides described the expanded partnership as a shining example of "culture plus technology" cooperation that strengthens ties between the peoples of China and Russia.
According to I. Ryabokon, the possibilities for creating new joint projects are “truly limitless,” and “our best and most ambitious project is yet to come.” -0-
