CHIBA - The Giga Dinosaur Exhibition 2017, which exhibits reconstructed full-body skeletons and fossil specimens from many dinosaurs, opened at Makuhari Messe in Mihama Ward, Chiba, on Saturday.

More than 200 objects including dinosaur fossils are on exhibit. Some of the items are being displayed in Japan for the first time.

Visitors can view a 38-meter-long, 14-meter-tall reconstructed full-body Ruyangosaurus skeleton, the largest dinosaur ever to be exhibited in Japan, as well as genuine fossils and other objects. The exhibition, sponsored by The Yomiuri Shimbun and another organization, runs through Sept. 3.
