Nanko Asia-Pacific Trade Center Hall

Love dinosaurs, or know someone who does? This exhibition of giant dinosaurs should make the perfect summer day out, then. The highlight is a full-sized, 37-metre reconstructed skeleton of the Titanosaur, which was one of the largest sauropods to ever have walked the Earth. The Titanosaur comes from the collection of the British Museum of Natural History, one of the collaborating organisers of the event. Skeletons of all-time favourites such as Tyrannosaurus Rex, Diplodocus and Ankylosaurus will be featured as well, in addition to a range of dinosaur specimens that have been found in Japan and are on loan from the Fukui Dinosaur Museum. You’ll also be able to look forward to some dinosaur animatronics, which should help you imagine what the mighty creatures looked like while they were still alive. Ticketing details and more information is available on the website.

K-pop legend G-Dragon’s travelling exhibition ‘Übermensch’ is coming to Osaka for just over two weeks. Billed as an experiential media art show that utilises cutting-edge digital technology – think voice interaction, holograms, media walls and the like – this multisensory exhibition will immerse you in G-Dragon’s creative universe. The wildly popular exhibition debuted in Seoul this March and has since toured Taiwan and Tokyo, enjoying great success at every stop. Tickets for the Taiwan exhibition sold out within 20 minutes, while the Tokyo leg attracted around 10,000 visitors on its opening day alone. The title ‘Übermensch’, meaning ‘superman’, is a philosophical concept coined by Friedrich Nietzsche. Inspired by this idea, the exhibition explores themes of self-expression, personal transformation and artistic transcendence. The Osaka show will offer a new immersive experience distinct from Tokyo’s. You can still enjoy the special highball drinks that proved popular in Tokyo, as well as the special Dragon Bike exhibit, which doubles as a photo spot and is now a Japan-exclusive feature. Additionally, a shuttle bus called the Übermensch Express will between Umeda Station and the ATC (Asia-Pacific Trade Center) Hall, where the exhibition is held. Tickets are available online via Trip.com.
