Pokémon Fossil Museum to Display Real and Fake Fossils in U.S. Next Year
The Pokémon Company has exciting news for fans in North America: the Pokémon Fossil Museum is set to open its doors in May 2026. If you're curious about what the Pokémon Fossil Museum entails, it's exactly what the name suggests. Following its successful debut in Japan, this unique exhibition, which showcases fabricated Pokémon "fossils" alongside real-world fossils of ancient lifeforms, is making its way to Chicago's Field Museum on May 22, 2026. This marks the first time the exhibit will be displayed outside of Japan.
"During your visit, you’ll have the chance to see vibrant Pokémon models displayed next to extinct lifeforms from the Field Museum’s collection. This includes scientific casts of Field Museum dinosaurs like SUE the T. rex and the Chicago Archaeopteryx, showcased alongside Fossil Pokémon such as Tyrantrum and Archeops," the museum explained. "How many differences and similarities will you spot, Trainers?"
