Special Exhibition Mammals 3 – The Parade of Life

Five years after the highly acclaimed special exhibition “Mammals 2 – Struggle for Life” in 2019, a new edition returns to Ueno in 2024. The theme for the forthcoming exhibition, Spring 2024 is “taxonomy (= classification)” and “systematics (=evolutionary relationship).”
The exhibition explores the wonders of mammals through the studies of classification based on appearance, internal features, and DNA, alongside examining the relationships among classified groups. Through a large-scale display featuring more than 500 specimens, the exhibition shows how approximately 6,500 mammal species of today have evolved their diverse forms and abilities.
