Abstract

During the 23rd collective learning of the Central Political Bureau, General Secretary Jinping Xi commented: “There are cultural relics in museums, heritage on the vast land, and written words in ancient books. Let’s make them alive”. [1] Following the national policy that promotes the digital protection and scientific application of cultural heritage, this paper investigates the methods used to digitize fossils, which involves the integration of palaeontology and arts. We aim to increase the creativity and vitality of the displays in museums, facilitating scientific communications. We also discuss how interdisciplinary approaches would benefit the transmission of science. Through collaboration between museums and institutes that transmit and research science respectively, we hope to achieve collaborative developments including creative popular science, art popular science, conversation popular science and transmitting popular science. This paper uses Jehol Biota from Western Liaoning, China as a case study to illustrate the proposed methods. It is the birthplace of the internationally renowned Sinosauropteryx, as well as numerous feathered dinosaurs, which have been crucial to understanding the origin of birds. [2] We explore the methods and pathways of transforming museum resources into creative products. With digital reconstruction, data could be used for research, as well as scientific popularization, using the art-transformed resources for scientific communications.
