MIMOCA (Marugame Genichiro-Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Art)

4.5

MIMOCA (Marugame Genichiro-Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Art) is an art museum in Marugame City. The museum was established to celebrate the artistic career of Genichiro Inokuma, an artist who grew up in the Marugame area and who later became a leading figure in international art circles, as well as to help reinvigorate culture and the arts in the Marugama region. MIMOCA’s location was chosen to make it easily accessible from the nearby railway station, giving it a more convenient location than more or less any other museum of its kind in Japan. The permanent exhibitions showcase the roughly 20,000 artworks that have been donated to the museum; in addition, several special exhibitions are held every year. The museum café has won acclaim for its “limited-edition” desserts, which are changed frequently to accompany MIMOCA’s special exhibitions.

あいにく雨が降ってしまったこともあり、美術館へ行くことにした。丸亀駅を降りたらすぐ美しい建物と大きなオブジェが見えてワクワクする。猪俣弦一郎さんの作品と谷口吉生さんの設計が空間に一体感があり、どこを切り取っても素敵だった。カフェもショップも図書館もオシャレでした。
