Projections in space display information about the seeds including the changes of the number of seeds, the names of the seeds, and the history of the seeds on the ground.

Later, visitors will come to a screening room to watch a future film about how the human world has changed without seeds. Although it is a virtual image, it makes people realize the importance of seeds.

Then Visitors will move into the next space to see how the soil and plants change under different weather systems, namely drought, heavy rains, floods, frost, and exposure to sunlight. Under such extreme conditions, plants show different states and even die. Visible environmental and climate changes are key factors affecting plant health, which also comes from People's daily behavior.

After visiting these, visitors will come to the simulated terrain space to see the entire seed growth process and environment, as well as some new technological products. This space puts the seeds of different terrains into a space to cultivate, and at the same time uses different humidity and temperature to control the growth conditions of the seeds, simulating the growth environment of the entire seed for the visitor, this display method allows the visitors to understand that different seeds have different life trajectories
