The Shanghai Astronomy Museum (SAM) has opened its meteorite collections to the planetary science community. Inaugurated in July 2021, SAM is recognized as the world’s largest astronomical museum and currently houses a collection of 97 meteorites weighing a total of 469 kg. These meteorites come from over 40 nations and encompass a diverse array of 37 different groups. Among them, 70 meteorites are displayed in the museum. The museum also features a series of interactive exhibition areas showcasing the internal structure of meteorites, engaging games introducing meteorite identification, and simulating the formation process of asteroid impact craters. This comprehensive range of offerings enables public access to extensive scientific knowledge about meteorites, making the museum a pivotal platform for disseminating meteoritics to the public.
