Pokemon people The Pokelid is near the entrance. There are multiple ticket options, only this museum, or with other places. I think there's both indoor and outdoor museum space here so don't visit on a rainy day. It was not busy on the Saturday we stopped. I really wanted to visit inside but my traveling companion did not. I was sad.

Mikasa city museum. Old coal mining town. Has interesting artifacts from coal mining heyday, features collection of large fossil ammonites which makes this a must for the fossil buff. Walking trail behind museum leads to track to the open-air section consisting of coal mine and geozones.

2024.4 周辺では、化石がよく見つかるという事で、博物館のメインの展示物の一つは化石である。よく見つかるアンモナイトから、エゾミカサリュウの部分化石や、米国より寄贈されたモササウルスのほぼ完全な、全身骨格化石などが展示され、子供から大人まで楽しめる内容だった。✳︎アンモナイトの名称の由来は。古代エジプトで崇拝されたアモン神(頭が羊で、角がある＝巻いた角)と、石を意味する-iteを組み合わせたものという事だった。 また次に目立った展示は、炭鉱の歴史でした。明治の初期に、お雇い外国人によって発見された石炭が、その後に渋沢栄一や、福沢諭吉なども資金を出して、開発されたという紹介も面白かった。国道12号からの距離が離れている箇所に、大きな町ができたのも、炭鉱があった為で、この石炭を運び出す為、全国的にも早く、小樽(港)-三笠(炭鉱)の鉄道が開通していたとの事である。

今回4年ぶりに行きました。 改装前・改装後も知っていますが、改装直後よりもさらに館内は過ごしやすくなっており、展示の内容や説明なども改善されていてたくさん楽しめました。 展示室は結構小さいですが、アンモナイトがたくさんあり、恐竜の骨格見本もあるので三笠市のレジャーや観光と合わせて、ぜひ訪れて欲しいです。 特別展示（翼竜と鳥類の進化についての展示でした）も充実しており、解説パネルはもちろんですが骨格の見本とともに復元イメージのフィギュア（？）も置いてあり、とても楽しめました。さらにタイミングよく学芸員さんの解説を聞くことも出来たので、より展示内容について理解を深められました。子供には少し難しいのかもしれませんが、大人になって改めて恐竜に興味を持ち始めた私にはすごく興味深く・楽しめる内容でした。
