52 groups of scientific masters from different fields witness the great moment of condensation together
Grandview World Science Figures Wax Museum was created by the wax figure artist Zhou Xuerong, after 52 groups were selected by science expert Professor Sun Weixin, a total of 57 scientists who promoted the development of world civilization.
These great people include the discoverers of the laws of physics, the observers of astronomical phenomena, the inventors of medical treatments, the creators of automobiles, airplanes, rockets, and the inventors of air conditioners, refrigerators, microwave ovens and so on!
The characters are all-encompassing, showing the history of human science and technology development in the past two thousand years. At the same time, the wax museum also produces and displays animated short films for each group of wax figures, explaining the life stories of scientific figures and their great contributions to world civilization.
57 scientists cover talents in different fields from ancient and modern China and abroad
In the keynote speech at the unveiling site, Ms. Zhou Xuerong shared her artistic creation, saying that this creative project requires an in-depth understanding of the life stories and contributions of each scientific figure, and then makes wax sculptures in order to perfectly present the discovery moment of each scientist.

Bacon once said: "Of all the wealth that can be used for the benefit of mankind, I have found that there is nothing greater than new technologies, new contributions and new inventions to improve human life."
Each of us can enjoy the new technologies and new inventions that scientists use to improve human life, and it is because of their contributions that our lives can progress.
Grand Orient has created more than 700 wax works, and its works are distributed in museums, wax museums and exhibition halls all over the world. Behind each wax figure is the story of his life, the character's personality, emotional temperature, and the most representative moment.
The Scientist Wax Museum is Grand Orient's exploration in more fields. We have never stopped on the way of creating wax figures and promoting the development of wax figure art.
Ms. Zhou Xuerong adhered to the concept of "what we create is not just a wax figure, but also a kind of spirit", and developed her own brand "Wei Mu Kai La" with Chinese national characteristics.
Wei Mu Kai La is a wax museum officially authorized by many celebrities in China. It has been authorized by Yuan Longping, Yang Liwei, Vitas and many other celebrities.
Wei Mu Kai La brand is currently opening wax museums with different themes in Guangzhou, Xiamen, Lijiang, Changsha, Dalian, Jinan, Lhasa and overseas Malaysia.
With wax art and innovative scene design, lifelike wax works as the carrier, combined with multi-dimensional surreal space, let the audience immerse themselves in the comprehension of the essence of Chinese culture.
