The fossil hall, which displays some of the world's oldest and largest fossil specimens, receives more than 2 million visitors each year. It's one of the museum's most famous attractions. As a result, the museum plans to expand the hall, as well as add to its ancient birds collection. Bird lovers, both young and old, have already responded with excitement at the news. The museum's social media account has been flooded with messages of support. In the meantime, the current collection will be closed. However, visitors will be compensated during the closure. Museum's special exhibition area will now be free of charge. This week, the resident exhibition is a display of ancient wall paintings on loan from Australia. They celebrate the cultural heritage of the country and will be available to view until Sunday. Next week, the exhibition will be taken over by the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition. The winner of this year's competition will be awarded a preview of the new fossil hall, as well as a cash prize.

从今年4月28日起，相关人员将开始对国家自然历史博物馆里的化石馆进行修复。这个化石馆展示了一些世界上最古老和最大的化石标本，每年接待200多万游客。这是博物馆最著名的景点之一。因此，博物馆计划扩建这个大厅，并增加古代鸟类收藏品。无论老少，爱鸟人士都对这一消息感到兴奋。博物馆的社交媒体账户上有众多对此支持的回应。同时，当前的收藏品将不对公众开放。但是，游客将在闭馆期间得到补偿。博物馆的特别展区现在是对公众免费开放的。本周，驻地展览是一个从澳大利亚借来的古代壁画展览。他们庆祝该国的文化遗产，并将提供观赏，直到周日。下周，这个展览将由年度野生动物摄影师大赛接管。今年竞赛的获胜者将获得新化石馆的预展和现金奖励。
