[Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture] Renovated in July! One of the world's three largest dinosaur museums

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈Fukui Prefecture𓂃 𓈒𓏸Katsuyama City Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum When I had never been to Fukui, I always thought of Fukui as the place to be! So I finally got to visit! This is also famous as one of the three largest dinosaur museums in the world. The museum was renovated in July and is now even more powerful than ever. It is an underground dome, and when you enter you are on the third floor, and you start by taking an escalator down to the first basement floor, but the escalator, which runs in a straight line, has an incredible futuristic feel to it... The symmetrical design looks like a spaceship🚀 or a rib... 🩻← It was designed more than 20 years ago by Kisho Kurokawa, who also designed the Nakagin Capsule Tower Building and the National Art Center, Tokyo. In the permanent exhibition, the enclosure around the Tyrannosaurus that greets you at the beginning has been removed, making the space more spacious, the number of dinosaur skeletons has increased, and fossils being exhibited for the first time in Japan are on display...! And in the newly renovated building, there is a symbolic monument of dinosaurs discovered in Fukui, the Dinosaur Tower, with five dinosaurs and one bird, all life-size 🦖 It is designed so that you can enjoy it from above or below. The new building has many storage rooms for specimens and materials collected by the museum, such as fossils and skeletons, and you can see them because they are glass-walled◎🦕 In addition, it seems that you can enjoy experiences that you don't usually get to experience, such as a full-scale fossil research experience and a fossil cleaning experience. The restaurant shop and souvenir shop have been expanded and powered up! Even though it was a weekday, many people were visiting non-stop. Please note that tickets must be purchased in advance🎫If there are any reservations left, tickets are sold at the entrance of the museum on the day. It seems that it will take more than two hours just to look around everything⏳(I didn't have enough time and stayed until closing time lol) It's a spot that both adults and children can enjoy and get absorbed in! 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄𓊆𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒𓊇 From the official website ¥1000 (A designated viewing ticket is required to enter, and if there are any reservations available, same-day tickets are sold at the museum entrance) 𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇From the official website 9:00-17:00 (Entry until 16:30) *8:30-6:00 during the busy summer season (Entry until 17:30) 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇From the official website Inside Katsuyama Dinosaur Forest, 51-11 Terao, Muraoka-cho, Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #besttrip2023#wintertrip #Fukui #FukuiPrefecture #FukuiTrip #FukuiTourism #DinosaurMuseum #Hokuriku #HokurikuTrip #Museum #PlaceIWantToGoAgain
