Special Exhibition: The Dinosaur Expo 2023



A perfect set of real, full-body fossils of zuul crurivastator, an ankylosaurine dinosaur, to land in Japan for the first time!
While herbivorous dinosaurs evolved to wear armor-like skin for the ultimate defense, carnivorous dinosaurs grew larger, and their teeth and claws became sharper for their offensive strategies. This exhibition, with the keywords “offense and defense,” explains the evolution of dinosaurs, focusing on the comparison between the two types.
