MUKAWA, Hokkaido A museum here is offering free rentals of a full-size skeletal replica of a newly discovered dinosaur, but delivery and assembly will cost a few bones.
The Mukawa Development of Industry and Nature Organization (M Dino), a trading house that handles local specialties and tourism packages, is responsible for the rental service, while the dinosaur model is kept by Mukawa town’s Hobetsu Museum.
“I want the dinosaur to help break through the stifling ambience deriving from the new coronavirus outbreak,” an official of M Dino said.
