    Okayama Pref. Kurashikishi Chuou 1-1-15
    Located in the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, this museum was Japan’s first private museum dedicated to Western art. The museum was built by Kurashiki industrialist Magosaburo Ohara in 1930. The Main Gallery, styled like a Greek temple, remains as it looked when the museum first opened. Inside, works by master Western painters such as Cezanne, Degas, and Renoir are on display. Several gallery concerts are held each year, a tradition which began in 1950.

    Definitely recommend this as a part of a day Trip to Kurashiki /this small and elegant museum privately owned showcases some of the icon>c. Artisists of the early to m>d. 20th century. Picasso Dali...

    Okayama Pref. Kurashikishi Chuou 2-6-1
    This art museum is located along Kurashiki Chuo-dori Street in Chuo, Kurashiki City. It is situated in the building of the former Kurashiki City Hall that was designed by the architect Tange Kenzo. Holding a collection centered on over 8,000 pieces by the Japanese painter Ikeda Yoson including those donated from the painter himself, the museum also holds events such as collection exhibits, temporary exhibits, art courses and gallery talks.

    過去の展示をチェックしてもこれという展示はなかったが、ここに来た理由は丹下健三の設計だから。 正面玄関よりも反対側に回ったほうがデザイン性が高い。 中に入るとロビー空間はかなり広々している。 訪問時は岡山ゆかりの作家「池田遥邨展」を開催していた。 市立だからか入場料はやたら安い。 でも東京なら都立でも区立でももう少し高いので、やはりここは安いと感じる。

    午前中に大原美術館に行ったこともあり、あまり期待はしていませんでしたが、やはりというレベルに感じてしまいました。この美術館は現代芸術に完全にフォーカスしているので、そちらに興味があればおもしろいのかもしれません。建物入口近くにショップがあり奥が美術展示になっていました。

    Okayama Kurashiki-shi Chayamachi 173

    倉敷に来た際はぜひ行きたいところでした。入場料は1,000円の年間パスポートで見学でき、手袋付けて刀にも触れることができます。その場で購入も可能。2階には歴史上有名な人物の刀がショーケースに収められてました。本物ではないと思われます。

Okayama Areas

around-area-map

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
