This edition, titled "The World of Plants," offers a deep dive into the diversity of flora. Through various plant specimens from around the world and within Shizuoka Prefecture, you will learn about the ingenious "dispersal strategies" seeds use to spread and the complex relationships between plants and insects.

This exhibition provides a visual and tactile way to learn about the mechanisms of the natural world. Key themes include:
