    Ibaraki Pref. Mitoshi Gokenchou 1-6-8
    The Art Tower Mito is a joint art facility located about 10 minutes by car from Mito Station. It has an art museum with mainly modern art exhibits, a concert hall complete with pipe organ, and a stage for musicals and traditional arts like rakugo. Uniquely composed of equilateral triangular panels, the Symbol Tower features a lookout deck with a view of Mito City and vicinity. You can get a tour of the interior (includes the tower) even as an individual.

    We were pleased to see the tower, and the whole art centre complex, but it was very quiet with not a lot going on. The tower was closed, as was the contemporary art gallery. The foyer with the...

    板谷波山が展示されていた茨城陶芸美術館のついでに見学しました。ウォーホルのC夫人像が面白いと思いました。新美術館で開催されたキミコパワーズ夫妻のコレクション展を見ていたのでC夫人像を見た時ウォーホルが随分塗っている、と思いました。珍しいものを見ました。

    Ibaraki Pref. Mitoshi Midorichou 2-1-15
    "A facility which serves as both an archive and museum located a two-minute walk from the ""Rekishikan Kairakuen Iriguchi"" bus stop on the bus leaving from Mito Station on the JR Joban Line. The facility presents the results of research into materials and artefacts connected to the history of Ibaraki. The facility's spacious grounds also enclose an Edo period farmhouse and Meiji period Western-style school house which were dismantled and moved here. The facility's standing exhibit focuses on the history of Ibaraki. Easy to understand videos, graphic panels, and other exhibits present the prehistoric, ancient, near-modern, and modern history periods of the prefecture. The facility also holds lectures and activities for elementary and junior high school aged children."

    尊皇攘夷の先駆の藩、水戸藩の詳しい資料があるかなと思い来ましたが、市販の歴史書の方が詳しいですね。どちらかというと明治以降や石器時代の方が広くスペースを取っているようです。更にほとんどが撮影禁止です。少し残念ですね。

    見学者は息を凝らして板谷波山の作品を見つめていました。じっと佇み作品に目を凝らして用意に動こうとしません。こういう雰囲気の展示会は稀だと思います。途中で集中力を解放しようと休憩しました。圧巻の展示だったと思いますし見終えて心地よい疲れを感じました。 此処へは上野8時半の特急に乗り友部駅から笠間周遊バスで来ました。上野駅で特急券を販売機で買いましたが下車駅の友部駅が表示されないので石岡まで買い友部駅...

    水戸出張の滞在中に出掛けてみました。やはり以前同様に出張に訪れた際に、こちらの製菓工場に博物館が併設されていると聞き、一度見学したいと思っていたからです。 しかしながらあいにく訪問時は休館。予め確認しなかった自分の責任ですが残念でした。
