MK Guide Recommends

Tucked inside the grounds of Nagai Park, the Osaka Museum of Natural History traces the planet’s past through a collection of life-size dioramas, ancient fossils, and regional ecology displays. Permanent exhibitions include reconstructed dinosaur skeletons, early plant and insect specimens, and models that illustrate evolutionary processes and geological change. Visitors can explore Kansai’s native flora and fauna, glacial history, and biodiversity through both static exhibits and hands-on learning zones. The museum supports school field trips, family visits, and academic research, with rotating seasonal exhibitions adding new content throughout the year. Educational programming, lecture events, and a connected gift shop further expand the visitor experience.
