Dino World – Welcome to Dinosaur Laboratory
Tochigi Prefectural Museum now holds the special exhibition called “Dino World – Welcome to Dinosaur Laboratory.” Various dinosaurs are collected from different parts of the world at the museum!
The skeletal preparations of a tyrannosaurus and an allosaurus are huge and impressive. The high light is the skeletal preparations of a rhabdodon, which is being exhibited for the first time in Japan.
Life-sized models of dinosaurs such as a deinonychus, a velociraptor, a pteranodon also attract dinosaur-lovers.
Besides the daytime exhibition, the nighttime exhibition along with some music concerts is held on Saturdays, and August 12th to 14th. The Dino night must be exciting, too.
My sons have been crazy about dinosaurs these days, so my sons and I visited the Dino World a few days ago. What attracted my elder son most were a tyrannosaurus and a deinonychus. What interested me was the introduction of how a fossil is excavated and delivered, and how it is studied.
We are coming back for the Dino night in August. We are also planning to visit other dinosaur exhibitions, which are held at some museums in the Kanto region this summer.
