Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum opened in July, 2000.\u00a0 At the same year it was opened as the main venue for Dinosaur Expo Fukui 2000.<\/p>\n
It is one of the largest dinosaur museums in Japan and its building was designed by the late Kisho Kurokawa. The exterior of the museum is a silvery egg shape, and the vast pillarless space inside contains more than 40 dinosaur skeletons (including replicas).<\/p>\n
From the main entrance, visitors can take a 33-meter-long escalator down to the basement, where they can proceed in sequence to learn about the history of the ancient earth in three themed zones: “World of Dinosaurs,” “Science of the Earth,” and “History of Life.<\/p>\n

The Dinosaur Museum is considered one of the world’s three great dinosaur museums, along with the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Canada and the Drikung Dinosaur Museum in China.<\/p>\n
