Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Mining Museum Guide

The Oreburgh Mining Museum in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is found in Oreburgh City and mostly used to revive Fossil Pokemon- you can do that by speaking to the man near the counter. He will only revive a Fossil Pokemon if you have the Explorer Kit. When the man begins to revive the Pokemon he will ask you to come back later, you can leave the building and come back in and the Pokemon will be revived.

How To Get Mining Museum Fossils

Obtain the National Pokedex. (Without this, you will NOT be able to obtain all the fossils listed here.)
Talk to the old man inside the house next to the Pokemon Center in Eterna City to obtain an Explorer Kit.
Go outside the building and select the Kit from the Key Items section of your bag to be transported underground.
Shiny dots will appear on your map; those are item locations, you will need to approach them and dig them up.
Once digging for long enough, you will come across multiple fossils such as; Claw Fossil, Dome Fossil, Helix Fossil, Root Fossil and, Old Amber.
With your fossils, go to Orebergh City.
Go to the Mining Museum and speak to the man behind the counter and leave a fossil with him.
Leave the building and then come back inside.
After speaking to the man again, your fossil will now be revived into a Pokemon.

Note: It may take some time to find fossils due to their rarity.
