  • アケボノゾウが中心の博物館

    町の博物館がこんなに立派だと思わず迷って辿り着きました。あけぼのパーク内にあり、入場料大人200円(町内者は無料)で入れます。当日は小学生の一団が楽しそうに見学してました。アケボノゾウがメインの展示で、琵琶湖の移動の歴史と共に大変勉強になります。裏には公園が広がっておりリフレッシュできます。

    あけぼのパーク多賀内にある博物館です。琵琶湖で見つかったアケボノゾウというゾウの全身の骨格の化石を見ることができます。面白いです。

    あけぼのパークという博物館で多賀町について色々学べます。図書館も併設されてます。入ると大きなアケボノゾウの骨格標本が出迎えてくれます。博物館は町民は無料で、町外の人でも200円で気軽に入ることが出来ます。おすすめは蝶など昆虫の標本があって、自由に引き出しを開け閉めして見られることです。化石や仏像が置いてあって、小さいけど色々詰まってます。ロビーでは色々な企画展が開かれていることもあります。外の公園...
