Very small museum, 15 minutes to see the entirety at a leisurely pace. Not the greatest value for 1000 yen. Also, no photography allowed. As a foreigner this causes problems since I can’t translate the Japanese text accompanying the artwork with Google Lens, and most of it was only displayed in Japanese. The QR code for an English audio guide failed to work, too. So, as a museum, it could be improved fundamentally. The large painting of historical Akita was interesting but did not get contextualized well. The cafe and shop has a beautiful view, and the staircase going up to the main level is memorable. So, it can still be a way to spend an hour or so if you take your time and unwind in the cafe.

Great museum. I'm usually not the biggest fan of brutalist architecture, but it fits the vibe theyre going for with the place. The current paid exhibition is stunning, a massive, at least 15m long panel painting that the artist completed in only 2 weeks. Its ridiculous and amazing. The free exhibition is great too, 3 massive sheets of printed fabric and paintings to go along with them. Its worth a visit if you find yourself in Akita

２０１３年に新築移転した「秋田県立美術館」 安藤忠雄さんの設計で、かなりモダンで素晴らしい造形が話題になりました。 館内の見所の写真が多数ＳＮＳで投稿され、行ってみたいスポットの一つではありますが、中々行く機会もなく・・・ 丁度興味深い展示も行ってましたので、思い切って行ってみました(*^^)v 思い切らなくても、別に行けるんですけどね(笑) 展示は「怖い浮世絵展」と「ＭＩＮＩＡＴＵＲＥ ＬＩＦＥ展」 今回は、撮影可能の 「ＭＩＮＩＡＴＵＲＥ ＬＩＦＥ展 」を見てみました。 作者は「田中達也」さんと言うミニチュア写真家・見立て作家さん。２０１１年から日用品とジオラマ用人形をモチーフにして、日常にある物を別の物に見立てたアートを発表。それが海外を含め人気となりました。 なんて、知ったかぶりで書いてますが、プロフィールに書いてたことをそのまま書きました(笑) 正直、全く知りませんでした(^_^;) ミニチュア作品なので、かなりの数の作品が設置されてます。どれも日常生活によくある物が、ジオラマ用人形により別の物に変えられ物語を作ってます。 見ていてクスッとしたりほっこりする作品が多く、心が温かくなる作品群でした。夏休みと言う事もあり、親子連れの方もたくさん。 結構混んでて蜜を避けながらの撮影でしたので、全作品は撮り切れずまたタイトルも控えることが出来ないのが残念でした(-_-;) 私が一番気に入ったのが、上記の写真。畳の縁にジオラマ人形がポツンと置かれてあり、それをアップにすると子供を負ぶったお母さん。畳とライトの色と人形で、懐かしいような優しい気持ちになれました(*^^*) 一番人気があったのが、こちら。中華鍋の中で踊るチャーハンの中で波乗りをしている作品。イベントのＣＭでも使われている作品で、皆がたくさん写真撮ってました。 コンセントの作品はジオラマ像ではなく、かなり大きな作品。この前で自分が作品の一部となり写真を撮るのが大人気。一人で行ったオッちゃんは、撮ることが出来ませんでしたけどね・・・(；´･ω･) 撮ってきた写真はギャラリーに載せておきますので、お楽しみくださいませ。 建物内部の見所の写真は、二つの展示により写真撮ることが出来なかったので、展示の無い時期に再訪し撮ってきます。それまで少々お待ちくださいませ！

The museum is close to Akita Station. The space is not so large, but the stylish architecture and special exhibitions are excellent. The curator's commentary attracted a large number of visitors and the exhibition was a success. The Akita scenes painted by Tsuguharu Fujita for this museum are

The special exhibit was exciting, and the architecture is stunning too. However, I wish the special exhibit ticket also included entrance to the permanent exhibit too. Instead, I had to buy two tickets. The permanent collection is nice but small.

It was a good museum to visit in the city and the free exhibition was very interesting too! The main galleries were also interesting too and learnt quite a few things along the way walking around.
