Animals! Animals, everywhere! Kyushu National Museum has invited a zoo of creatures both real and imaginary to its halls. Step into room 3 and relive the feeling of entering the toy aisle in a department store. With many small animal-shaped objects lined up, you’ll find yourself surrounded by beasts from all over the world and from many different periods in history! Once you’ve had your fill of the cute objects, make your way over to room 11 to feast your eyes on the creatures of human imagination, as well as animals that became important symbols in various Asian cultures. Come and experience the animal kingdom as portrayed by people all over the world, from past to present. This is sure to be a fun-filled exhibition for children and adults alike!
