■Workshop "Let's study fossils! Make a whale strap"
While looking at a diagram of a whale bone fossil from Koganeyu, try drawing a picture on plastic board, thinking about how the whale's meat and skin are attached! The staff will turn your finished picture into a strap and give it to you. Curator Tanaka, who actually studies fossils, will provide an explanation.
