Scientific guess work : Kitakyushu Museum of Natural History and Human History / 科学的な推測：いのちのたび博物館

 

Paleontologist at work

Studying the feather

This Natural Science Museum has an interesting exhibit which displays the process of paleontologist tried to figure out what the dinosaur looked like, the skin (or might be feather?) texture and colors based on the scientific investigation.

Even though it takes scientific approach, still leave the room for the creative imagination, scientist or not.

Studying skin colours and patterns

この自然史博物館では、恐竜学者が恐竜がどんな姿だったのか？皮膚の起伏（ひょっとしたら羽に覆われていたのかも？）や色等を想像する過程を展示しています。

科学的な検証とは言っても、そこにはやはり人間の想像力が必要なのです。
