Fukui Prefecture is known as one of Japan's leading dinosaur fossil discovery sites. The centerpiece of this is the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum in Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture. This museum specializes in geology and paleontology, with a focus on dinosaurs, and boasts one of the largest collections in the world.
In the museum, there are 44 full-body skeletons of dinosaurs, fossils, dioramas, and a large number of restored models, which are fascinating for both adults and children. The highlights are the "Japan Dinosaur Zone," which collects dinosaur fossils and reconstructed models discovered in Japan, and the "Tyrannosaurus Zone," which exhibits the world's largest full-body skeleton and head reconstruction model of a Tyrannosaurus.
In addition, next to the museum, there is the "Outdoor Dinosaur Museum". Here, you can experience excavation centering on fossil footprints. Not only can you experience the feeling of actually digging out fossils, but you can also learn how to distinguish between fossils and how to excavate them from expert staff.
The Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum is a place that both dinosaur lovers and non-dinosaur lovers can enjoy. Would you like to immerse yourself in the world of dinosaurs?
Closed until the summer of 2023
