  • 下関観光にて

    下関駅からバスを利用して行きました。野外彫刻なども展示してあります。「海峡、交差するまち 下関の作家たち」展が開催されてました。長府藩の時代から現代までの下関ゆかりの作家を展示してました。また、人も少なかったのでゆっくりできました○
  • 建物は大きい

    長府庭園と駐車場をはさんでセットになっているような場所でついでにということで訪問しました。国道側にある2Fの広場のようなところが入口でした。広場や駐車場側にもオブジェがあり芸術感を期待したのですが、建物の大きさのわりには展示が少ないかなと思いました。入場料200円はお手頃だとは思います。中でゆっくりできるので、天気がよくないときにはよいのかもしれません。
  • 満足しました。
