This is a fabulous building designed by the Spanish architect Alfredo Arribas. It is such a delight to see such great architecture in a small city. It is a stunning building both inside and outside and is well worth visiting. It also has two floors devoted to a gallery that only exhibits contemporary Spanish art, and some very good work too. Again it is remarkable that Marugame has such a unique collection but this is all down to an exchange visit that took place many years ago. Really is a must visit. Alongside the building is a decent cafe. (NB: the photo isn't mine but scanned from the book Alfredo Arribas: Marugame Hirai Museum (OPUS) by Watanabe and can be purchased online.)
