Iwami Adachi Museum

4.0

This museum stands on the border between Hamada City and Gotsu City. The white-walled building holds a collection of ancient art like swords and pottery centered on pieces from the Iwami region. A single-story steel reinforced concrete building standing amidst white sand and green pines, it was registered as the prefecture's third museum in 1979 in accordance with the Museum Act. To this day, it stands as a hall of arts in Iwami in both name and fact. It offers clear introductions to the cultural history of the Iwami region, including ancient art, folk crafts, and more. Their collection of Iwami Nagahama dolls has a reputation for its number and is particularly impressive.

安達啓二氏のコレクションを中心にして５世紀ころからの石見地方の出土品である刀剣、陶磁器などを展示しています。石見地方の古美術、民芸など長浜人形を見られます。これは博多人形の技法を使っているそうです。福岡に住む自分には興味深いものでした。
