Tokyo’s National Museum of Nature and Science opened the Pokémon Fossil Museum on Tuesday, featuring displays of Pokémon fossils and skeletons.
A sneak peek video posted on the Japanese Pokémon official Twitter page provides glimpses into some of the fossils and skeletons of various Pokémon that are on display. Although the video uses footage taken at the Mikasa, Hokkaido, location’s exhibit, the Pokémon’s Twitter page states that it provides a preview into the Tokyo location’s exhibit as well.
