When Han Pao-the was planning the museum, he paid visits to museum designers in various countries before finally hiring the British designer James Gardner to develop 13 exhibition areas for this hall, which separately reveal various natural phenomena. Aspects of evolution-from the beginning of life and proliferation of life forms, to evolution and adaptation, to the course of a human life from birth through death-can also be investigated and explored here.
當年漢寶德積極拜訪各國的博物館設計家，最後委由英籍設計師葛登納利用 13 個展示區，分別呈現各種自然現象，以及自然史上各階段的演化動態，從生命的起源，到各物種的崛起、演化與適應，及至人類的生老病死，都可以在此一探究竟。
