    Every year, an animal-themed exhibition is held at the Tokyo National Museum in collaboration with Ueno Zoo logical Gardens and the National Museum of Nature and Science.

    This year’s theme is “Animal Tails.” The first part of the exhibition focuses on the diverse tails of cats and other mammals, while the second part features the tails of birds, particularly those with distinctive long tail feathers, reptiles like turtles and snakes, fish, and imaginary animals such as dragons.
