Pokémon has partnered with The National Museum of Nature and Science in Japan to create a one-of-a-kind
Pokémon Fossil exhibit. The exhibit is curated to ensure an educational and fun experience for visitors to compare between
Pokémon monsters and dinosaurs.
Attendees are expected to learn about the real-life prehistoric creatures that have inspired some of the most popular
Pokémon characters of all time. For instance, within the Tyrunt and Tyrantrum line, fans will be able to draw visible comparisons with the Tyrannosaurus. Since this will be a travelling exhibit, the
Pokémon Fossil Museum is set to head to various museums across Japan over the next year.

✖
A touring exhibit that uses Pokemon to teach children about fossils and dinosaurs will open in Japan this summer. A touring exhibition called Pokemon Kaseki Hakubutsukan (translated to Pokemon Fossil Museum) will launch this summer and will travel across Japan over the next year. The exhibition s goal is to connect the world of Pokemon to the real world and teach children about dinosaurs and the paleontology field. Pokemon fans will get to meet the real world equivalents of Pokemon like Shieldon, Omanyte and Aerodactyl and take a look at full-scale skeletons of Pokemon as well as dinosaurs. One feature will be a full-scale model of a Tyrantum skeleton, which will be about 8 feet high. The exhibit will launch on July 4th at the Mikasa City Museum in Hokkaido. The exhibition will also travel to Shimane, Tokyo, and Aichi until wrapping up sometime in the summer in 2022.
