SSTM Named National Model Civilized Institution 7 Times in a Row

On May 23, 2025, the Central Leading Group for Publicity, Ideology and Culture issued the Notice on Revalidation and Confirmation of National Civilized Titles for Cities, Villages/Towns, Institutions, Families, and Campuses. The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum (SSTM) successfully passed the re-evaluation, marking its seventh consecutive term as a “National Model Civilized Institution.”

The SSTM is the only science education venue in China that simultaneously holds the prestigious titles of National 5A Tourist Attraction, National Tier-1 Museum, National Research Travel Demonstration Base, National Culture and Technology Integration Demonstration Base, and Postdoctoral Research Station. Since its opening, the museum’s three facilities have collectively received 92.89 million visitors, making outstanding contributions to enhancing public scientific literacy and cultural-ethical standards, and demonstrating its commitment through concrete actions in the new era.

The scientific literacy and cultural-ethical standards of citizens serve as crucial indicators of a city’s civilization level. The SSTM will remain steadfast in its founding mission of “science popularization for the people and public benefit.” It will continue to cultivate and practice the core socialist values, fully advance the construction of a new-era civilization practice center, and propel the “twin engines” of science popularization and civilization to advance in tandem - mutually reinforcing and complementing each other - thereby bringing citizens a more enriched urban civilized life.
