#getgoing2025 It is one of the largest natural history and history museums in western Japan, with a total of more than 6,000 exhibits. We hold an exhibition on the history from the birth of the earth to the present day. "Earth Small", where ancient fossils are lined up, is a corner that explains from the birth of the earth to the evolution of life, focussing on ancient creatures such as Tyrannosaurus. At the "Envirama Hall", where you can enjoy the atmosphere of travelling back in time to the Middle Age, the Kitakyushu region of the Cretaceous period is reproduced with the realistic movements of dinosaurs.

#2024wish The location is a mere 5 mins walk from JR Space World sta. And indeed what attracted most people is the large Space world Theme Park that is situated opposite the Museum instead. The admittance fee is 500 yen for adults. The Museum presents the evolution of life on earth and human history and the exhibition covers a wide range such as the process of evolution, geology knowledge to Japanese local and historic culture. Once you enter the main hall exhibition you will be greeted by the large skeletal reconstructions of various dinosaurs, especially noticeable is the mighty T-Rex! Next to it is a giant long-necked dinosaur, enough to blow you off. I want to go back here again.
