    建物や展示室の構造は バブルを思わせる 豪華なそれでありました また恐竜の展示が非常に多く恐竜館ではないのかと思うほどです。 肝心のカブトガニについてはきちんと展示はしているのですが その数は非常に少なくもっと置いて欲しいと思います。 目の前には大きな公園がありそこも恐竜一色でした。 少し お金の使い方が間違ってるのではないかと 思いました。 ただ全体としては 面白い博物館でした。

    「たなか」と読んではいけません。「でんちゅう」です。 日本近代彫刻界の巨匠、平櫛田中の出身地である岡山県井原市にある美術館を訪れた。 昭和後期に建てられた当館が新増設されることとなり、長期休館に入る前に「最後の感謝展」と称して無料のコレクションオンパレード展が開催されてたから。 早朝の新幹線で福山に着き、福塩線-井原鉄道と乗り継いで井原駅到着。そこからは、地元の循環コミュニティバスもあったが、さ...

    笠岡市出身の日本画家・小野竹喬を顕彰する美術館だ。開館に当たっては遺族から作品を多数寄贈されたという。ちょうど令和元年(2019年)は、竹喬(1889年生)の生誕130年にあたるだけに、年度内は特別展が目白押しに予定されていた。展示だけでなく、竹喬という日本画家がいかに誕生したかという研究にも取り組んでおり、一代限りの人ではないことがうかがえる。それにしても井原市の田中美術館といい、井笠地区は郷...

Okayama Areas

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.
