Osaka Museum of Natural History

The museum displays extensive collections of prehistoric animal skeletons, including dinosaurs and mastodons, alongside geological specimens from the region.

Established in 1950 as part of the Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts, the institution moved to its current location in Nagai Park in 1974.

The exhibition halls present the evolution of human relationships with nature from the Jomon period through modern times in the Osaka region.

Located 10 minutes from Nagai Station, the museum charges 300 yen for adults and offers free entry to children under 14 years old.

The museum holds over one million items, including specimens of Naumann's elephant and Yabe's giant deer from the Pleistocene period.
