Opened in 1997 amid the abundant natural beauty of the mountains of Shigaraki, Shiga prefecture. The museum was designed by architect I.M. Pei, who is renowned for works such as the glass pyramid at the Louvre in Paris. Is a truly amazing museum especially their collection, I do really like standing Buddha!!

無機質ながらも整然とした神殿のような建物、水面に浮かぶ佐藤忠良氏の彫刻作品、陰影を巧みに利用した館内、単に美術品を展示する美術館ではなく、建物そのものが素晴らしい美術的センスに溢れている。特に晴れた日には水面に照り返された陽の光が天井や壁に映り、時間と共に変化する様子を楽しむことも出来る。 美術品の展示の仕方は極めてシンプルで、余計な説明も少なく、全て観覧者の想像を掻き立てるように展示されている。日本語だけでなく英語の説明文も併記されているため、海外観光客も充分に楽しむことが出来る。 基本的に車で来る場所であり、バスの本数は多くは無い。予め時刻表等を確認して利用することをお勧めする。 是非ともお勧めしたい、展示されている美術品だけでなく建物そのものが素晴らしい美術館である。 The museum itself is full of wonderful artistic sensibilities: the inorganic yet orderly temple-like building, the sculptures by Churyo Sato arranged as if floating on the water surface, and the interior of the museum with its skillful use of shadows. Especially on a sunny day, the sunlight shining on the surface of the water reflects on the ceiling and walls, and you can enjoy how it changes with time. The artworks are displayed in a very simple way, with few explanations, and all of them are designed to stimulate the visitors' imagination. The explanations are not only in Japanese but also in English, making it possible for overseas visitors to enjoy the exhibits. Basically, it is a place to come by car, and there are not many buses. So it is recommended to check the timetable beforehand. I highly recommend this art museum, not only for the artworks on display but also for enjoying the building itself.

This lovely museum had a rebuilt Edo house to walk around and many artifacts from the past 400 years. Some English to explain each item too which was great. Well worth popping in before visiting the castle.

A black wall square where shops and cafés renovated the old townscape from Edo to the early Showa era. The central black wall glass pavilion is a facility that used bank traces built in 1900 (Meiji 33), and a large number of domestic and foreign glass products line up. In the vicinity it is dotted with glass workshops, galleries, cafes, experiences facilities, and you can enjoy the streets and glasses.
