An original editorial summary based on the linked sources.

Independent editorial coverage. Source links do not imply official affiliation or guarantee entry eligibility.

Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum announced on 12 October that its exhibition about mythical creatures in Eastern and Western traditions will run through 1 November 2026. The exhibition opened on 18 June; this is an extension announcement, not a new opening today.

Look for 跨越山海——寻找东西方传说中的奇幻生物 in first-floor Temporary Exhibition Hall A. It is a paid special exhibition: the notice lists a single-person ticket at CNY 49. It is separate from the free Longgupo exhibition in fourth-floor Hall D.

The exhibition notice gives Tuesday–Sunday hours of 09:00–17:00 and a 16:30 museum-admission cutoff, with Monday closure except statutory holidays. The museum’s general visitor notice instead lists a 16:00 admission cutoff. These official pages conflict; plan to enter before 16:00 and confirm the day’s cutoff with the museum.

Check the museum’s official WeChat account, 重庆中国三峡博物馆, under 享服务 → 特展购票. Museum-entry reservations and special-exhibition tickets are different matters. Foreign-passport processing, payment options and walk-up ticket availability have not been verified; ask the museum before travel if the online route does not work. Early-bird ticket holders should check their ticket’s own validity.

This is a source-dated planning update checked on 23 October UTC, not an on-site confirmation. Recheck current museum notices before leaving. The English description of the exhibition is an editorial translation, not a verified official English title.
