It was a surreal experience to have the gallery all to myself, albeit with the mindful staff still in attendance. Unfortunately I came on a day where there was only one exhibition open (perhaps that is why it was completely empty). Despite the special exhibition not being to my taste, the privilege to set my own pace and really admire the pieces, with no worries of blocking others allowed me to enjoy it nonetheless, I wish that the other exhibitions were open so I could enjoy the museum to its full extent with this uncommon quietness.

I was only stopping by Morioka for half a day on my road-trip around Tohoku, but I am seriously considering shifting my schedule just so I can enjoy the museum in...

Taking a break from snowboarding, I wanted to experience something completely different—so I visited this calm and inspiring space.

～雨の岩手、心落ち着く美術館～ 友人を訪ねて岩手を訪れたこの日は、あいにくの雨で、岩手県立美術館へ行ってみる事にしました。これが予想以上に素晴らしかった。展示物と空間のバランスが良く、静かな空間でずっと絵画を見ていられました。休日でしたが、人も多過ぎず、心を落ち着かせられる場所でした。美術館がお好きな方は是非行ってみてください。オススメです。
