The 21st century will see tremendous growth in the field of life-science. The study of life-science (which focus on origins of life), its effects on a society (i.e. healthcare, food safety) and economy are all intimately related with sustainable development. Therefore, the continued study and development of life science has received more and more attention from people and countries around the world. Any advancement of science requires people to understand and support. Life-science exhibitions are the center of attraction in museums of foreign countries. In contrast, exhibits in basic sciences, geology, natural resources, information technology, etc. receive precedence over life-science exhibitions in China. Consequently, the majority of museums and science centers in China lack the experience in the design and construction of life-science exhibitions. As a result, the scales of life-science exhibitions are often limited and their content is poor. This paper analyzes the life-science exhibitions of other countries as well as the current exhibitions in China. As a conclusion, I present a comprehensive study on implementing life-science exhibitions for Chinese audience.
