Saitama Museum of Natural History

Museum of Natural History

Just a few meters from the riverbanks of Arakawa River is somewhat a secretly-hidden museum. The Saitama Prefectural Museum of Natural History is a small museum dedicated about the ancient history of Saitama Prefecture. We were amazed to see that fossils of ancient sea creature which resembled like a dinosaur, humongous shark and mammoth elephant named Akebono elephant, were actually excavated within the vicinity of Saitama. Furthermore, the museum houses real-life preserved models of different kinds of species found in the region such as monkeys, different kinds of bird species, other mammals like deer, fox and many others. The museum also has an exhibit of the different insects and reptiles. The numerous collection of different metamorphic rocks and Earth minerals can also be found in the shelves of the museum. Oh, and I honestly never heard most of the composite rocks on display. Entrance fee is at 200 yen and the museum closes at 430PM.
