Mukawa Town Hobetsu Museum, Paleontological museum in Mukawa, Japan.

The Mukawa Town Hobetsu Museum displays numerous fossils from the late Cretaceous period, including complete dinosaur skeletons and preserved marine specimens.

The institution opened in 1982 as Hobetsu Museum and received its current name in 2006 following the merger of Hobetsu with Mukawa town.

The museum publishes research papers in The Bulletin of the Hobetsu Museum, contributing to scientific knowledge since 1984.

Located at 80-6 Hobetsu, the museum operates from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM with entrance fees of 300 yen for adults and 100 yen for students.
