The Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum

Home to Japan's leading excavation site, this dinosaur museum in Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture is the centre of dinosaur research and education in the country!

The Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum boasts open spaces where several life-size dinosaur replicas and skeletons can be found. 

Its main attraction, the Dinosaur World exhibition, showcases 44 dinosaur skeletons (ten of which are made of real dinosaur fossils) alongside detailed English explanations. 

Explore the museum and get up close with the local Fukui-raptor and Fukui-saurus, which were excavated in the area, together with the replica of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, a two-thirds scale robot.

About ten other robots, including a diorama, can also be found in the museum!
