A new bird lineage
A special exhibition where you can see a lifetime's worth of birds!
Basic information
This exhibition will explain the diverse evolution of birds by introducing their unique body structures and ecology, based on the latest systematic classification revealed by genome analysis research.
There will also be an exclusive Osaka exhibition entitled "Osaka Bay, ensuring it remains a habitat for birds."
Osaka Bay is an important stopover point for migratory birds and a valuable breeding ground for waterfowl, and we will explain the current situation and future of this place where birds sustain their lives.
