As reported previously, the Pokemon Fossil Museum exhibition will aim to teach visitors about paleontology by combining real life fossils with various fossil Pokemon featured in the games. It will debut on July 4th at the Mikasa City Museum in Hokkaido, where it will remain until September 20th 2021. After that, the exhibit will move to Shimane, then Tokyo, and finally Aichi.
