    県が運営しているということもあって大人の入場料が410円と格安なのと、中学生以下が無料というのが何とも素晴らしい。 これだけの施設と展示内容だと大人だと1,500円以上、子供もその半額くらいとられても十分に納得がいく。 マレーシアによくある日本人もよく訪れるような熱帯の蝶が飛び交うバタフライファームがあるのは日本ではここだけなのでは? 鬱蒼とした熱帯の植物群が生い茂るドームの中に、南国の蝶の...

    神流町恐竜センターという名前からはどんな施設なのかわかりにくいと思います。神流町立自然史格物館という名前の方がフィットすると思います。入場料は800円で、本館と別館の2つの建物に恐竜や化石に関する資料が展示されていました。本物の化石や恐竜のレプリカが想像していた以上に展示されていて、とても楽しめました。ただ富岡市にある群馬県立自然史博物館と比べると展示が少ないのに入場料が高いのは気になりました。館...

    夜間観望会へ寄らせていただいています。 暖かい時期は天気に恵まれないことが多く、屋内でのトピックが中心になる事もあります。 寒い時期は条件が良いときが多く、沢山の惑星や恒星が見られますが、望遠鏡ドームはとても寒いので、大袈裟な位の防寒対策が必要です。 また、庭?ではボランティアの方が小型の望遠鏡を使ったりPCを使ったりしながら天体観測の面白さ?を教えてくれます。 天体観測にあまり興味がなくても...

    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...

    "This theme park is located 10 minutes’ walk from the Tobu Ryomo Line’s Yabuzuka Station. It was based on the artist Saho Sasazawa’s historical play, ""Kogarashi Monjiro"". The park recreates the lead character, Jiro’s hometown of Mikazukimura, Nitta County, Joshu, and the scenery with its fire lookout towers and water mills is just as it would have been in the Edo Period. There are also attractions which can be enjoyed by people too young to know what they are, such as the House of Tricks with complicated mechanisms in each room, and the Kaigendo, in which visitors explore the dark underground."

    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。
