The Hilgendorf Exhibition, which traveled to five museums in Japan closed in May, 1998with great success, welcoming a total of 33, 000 visitors, including the Empress and the Emperor. It was probably the first traveling exhibition of its kind at natural historymuseums in Japan organized by the Organizing Committee consisting of specialists about Hilgendorf and museum curators. The Organizing Committee overcame many difficultiesinvolving political, financial and systematic problems. I recommend the traveling exhibitionto all natural history museums in Japan.
