Since July, we have been holding the "Mobile Botanical Garden GOOD NATURE STATION × Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Gardens" in our building. Due to popular demand, we will be extending the period of the event.

This project will feature content that can be enjoyed using all five senses within the museum, including a gallery exhibition of rare plants carefully selected from the plant specimens in the Osaka Prefectural Botanical Gardens, and Shop where visitors can learn about the world of carnivorous plants with explanations from Osaka Prefectural Botanical Gardens staff.

Additionally, an African baobab tree will be on display for a limited time in the courtyard on the 4th floor.
You will have the opportunity to have a special look at precious plants that are usually cultivated in the greenhouses of the Osaka Prefectural Botanical Gardens and are not available to the public.
