    私が行った時、「山」というタイトルの展覧会を開催していた。 入場者は、私入れて10人ぐらい。 この展覧会は、日本画の力作が53点展示してあったが、これしか見に来ないのでは寂しい。 私除き、全員地元に住む常連らしかった。 駅前にあり、アクセスが良い。学芸員さんは品がよく好感が持てる。 けど、宣伝不足という印象。 一般の入場料は、500円と高くないし、展示されている絵画には、巨匠作もある。 宣伝を...

    2/28(火)初訪問。県内なので下道で行ったが、首都圏からの人は、水上ICからスキー場まで道路には雪がない(地下水で融雪している)ので、雪道が苦手な人にはお勧めです。 駐車場から最初のリフトが階段上がったところにあるのはちょっと辛い。 駐車場に降りてくる下山の初級コースは絶対に使わないこと。

It is designed so that visitors can take their time."

    ひっそりとしていて長閑ですが、バラエティに富んだ作品があり刺激になりました。駐車場も近くにあり、小高い場所にあるので急な坂道を通りますが、木漏れ日が良かったです。一人では多分心細いと思いますが、親しい友達と行くには良い美術館と思います。喫茶室がお休みでした。
