Children who love dinosaurs, with skeletons made of iron and illustrations, should visit the Dinosaur Art Exhibition at the Kurashiki City Art Museum during summer vacation.

Children have entered their summer vacation, but the number of new coronavirus infections is increasing, making us somewhat want to avoid going far.

However, there are no emergency declarations or restrictions on movement in August 2022.

In other words, public facilities are open.

So, I found out that the Kurashiki City Art Museum is hosting the "Dinosaur Art Exhibition - Dinosaurs Have Come to the Museum!?"

I am also curious about the "black shining" dinosaur skeletons.

I immediately took the elementary school children and went to visit.

What is the "Dinosaur Art Exhibition - Dinosaurs Have Come to the Museum!?"

The "Dinosaur Art Exhibition - Dinosaurs Have Come to the Museum!?" is being held at the Kurashiki City Art Museum from July 23 (Saturday) to August 28 (Sunday), 2022.

The admission fees are as follows.

It's nice that elementary and junior high school students are free.

Dinosaur Art Exhibition Report

I actually went to visit.

Upon arriving at the Kurashiki City Art Museum, I was informed that the reception is on the second floor.

There were also goods for sale at the entrance.

After purchasing tickets, let's go inside right away.

As for the "Dinosaur Art Exhibition," the following were displayed.

• NOBUO's work recreating dinosaur skeletons in iron using welding techniques
• Restoration models by dinosaur sculptor Araki Kazunari
• Works by dinosaur illustrator Keita
• Original illustrations from "Dinosaur Encyclopedia" by Hisakuni Hiko, who is also known as a dinosaur researcher and has authored many picture books

I will pick out and introduce some things that caught my attention.

NOBUO's work recreating dinosaur skeletons in iron

Upon entering the venue, the first thing that catches the eye is the dinosaur skeleton made of shiny iron.

It is very intricately made, and I am surprised that it is made of iron.

It is said to be made using welding techniques.

There was also a corner for commemorative photos.

Illustrations by dinosaur illustrator Keita

Illustrations by dinosaur illustrator Keita were displayed on an entire wall.

They are designed to help learn the history of living creatures, and the children were reading them eagerly.

Conclusion

At the exit of the exhibition room, there was also a "coloring corner".

It seemed that elementary school students were not very interested, but I think younger children would enjoy it.

When I asked the staff about the "Dinosaur Art Exhibition,"

they mentioned, "The number of coronavirus infections is increasing again, making it difficult to go out, but we hope you can come as a nearby outing spot."

Next to the Kurashiki City Art Museum, there is also a Central Library.

Since many people borrow books during the summer vacation, how about visiting the "Dinosaur Art Exhibition" while you're out?
