Kitakyushu Museum of Natural History & Human History
The biggest nature museum in all of West Japan. See true-to-life scale exhibits!
This museum pays respect to humankind’s evolution and of its history, which in turn changes our future and way of living. “A Journey of Life”, one may say.
Through various exhibits placed on the main path called the “Earth Mall”, and “Culture Mall”, this shopping mall-esque museum features true to life representations of nature. In “Earth Mall”, check out the 35m tall fossil displays of the Diplodocus, and Stegosaurus.
Check out the “Envi-Rama Pavilion”. Through a cave-like entrance, you find yourself in the prehistoric era, where your adventure begins. Check out ancient fish, iguanodons, and insects in their natural habitats brought to life by CGI magic. To finish this adventure, you will see a 360 Interactive Diorama of Kitakyushu in the prehistoric era. Using lighting, film screens, and realistic sound, you will find yourself immersed in the Prehistoric Era.
Special exhibits take place every now and then, so check out their website!
