Le musée des fossiles Pokémon exposera de véritables et faux fossiles aux États-Unis l'année prochaine

The Pokémon Company has confirmed that the Pokémon Fossil Museum is coming to North America in May 2026.

If you're wondering what exactly the Pokémon Fossil Museum is, it's… well, it's literally what the name suggests. After its debut in Japan, this special exhibition, which compares fabricated Pokémon "fossils" with "ancient lifeforms found in real-world fossils," will arrive at Chicago's Field Museum on May 22, 2026. This marks the first time the exhibition travels beyond Japan.

"During your visit, you'll see vibrant Pokémon models displayed alongside extinct lifeforms from the Field Museum's collection — including scientific casts of Field Museum dinosaurs such as SUE the T. rex and the Chicago Archaeopteryx next to Fossil Pokémon like Tyrantrum and Archeops," explained the museum. "How many differences (and similarities) will you spot, Trainers?"

If you're still too far from both Japan and Chicago to visit in person, don't forget that The Pokémon Company and the Toyohashi Museum of Natural History have made it possible to experience the Pokémon Fossil Museum from the comfort of your own home. Pokémon fans can now take a virtual tour of the exhibit to view the collection of real and Pokémon fossils, ranging from a tyrannosaurus to a Tyrantrum.

In related Pokémon news, earlier today we reported that a man in the UK was arrested after police discovered he was harboring a cache of stolen Pokémon cards worth £250,000 (approximately $332,500). The hoard was uncovered when Greater Manchester Police raided a home in Hyde, Tameside, on the outskirts of Greater Manchester. A police spokesman joked: "Gotta catch 'em all."
