I went for the Monet exhibit, which was 90 paintings that I had never seen before. It includes some of the artists early works (landscapes, family members) and some of his very intense late works...
平等院鳳凰堂と浄土院

Reviewed : 2022.05.15

長岡駅から信濃川を渡って右に曲がって進み、日赤病院を超えた所にあります。今回は、「平等院鳳凰堂と浄土院」という特別展が開催されていたので行ってきました。創建当時のものから、その後江戸時代に作られ、長く保管されているもの、また復元品など、多くのものが展示されていました。コロナ禍で、宇治までなかなか行けませんので、この時期にこういう展示会があると、ありがたいです。
