(Translated by Google) When I visited on a weekday, it was fully booked.
There was an exhibition of Western-style paintings by Satake Toku, an artist with ties to the city.
There were only a few pieces, so the spacious space allowed me to leisurely appreciate the artworks.
The ocean view from the window is lovely.
The building is large, but it also houses a library and government offices.

(Translated by Google) I live outside the prefecture.
When I visited for the first time, I was nervous because I didn't know how to get there.
It's on the fourth floor of the building that used to be the old town hall.
It was right after I got off the city bus from JR Oku Station.
When you get off the elevator, you'll see the entrance.
From there, you can see the beautiful scenery of Ushimado.
I felt that the museum was well thought out with its limited exhibition space.
It's quiet, so you can enjoy the works at your own pace.
It's just the right amount of time and space to enjoy the works at your own pace.
I liked the relaxed pace of the time that you don't get at large museums.
On the way back, you can take a bus from the bus stop in front of the museum to Oku Station, and then catch a train to JR Okayama Station.
I appreciate the consideration to make it easy to visit from outside the prefecture.
I felt a strong sense of familiarity at the exhibition of Sakura Hanabusa's wooden cat sculptures, and I enjoyed it as if I was immersed in the world of the works. I would like to visit again during this period.

県外居住者です。
初めて訪問した時は、アクセスもよく分からず、ドキドキしながら行きました。
旧役場を活用した建物の4階です。
JR 邑久駅からの市バスを降りたらすぐでした。
エレベーターを降りたら、入り口です。
そこからは牛窓の風景が見渡せ、素敵でした。
美術館は、限られた展示場に工夫されているのを感じました。
静かで、ゆっくり作品を味わうことができます。
自分のペースで作品を味わうには、程よい量、程よい時間です。
大きな美術館にはない、ゆったりと流れる時間が気に入りました。
帰りも、美術館前のバス停からバスに邑久駅まで乗れば、JR 岡山駅行きの電車に乗ることができるようになっています。
県外からも訪問しやすい配慮がありがたいです。
2度目に訪問した、花房さくらさんの木彫ねこの作品展では、親近感が強く感じられ、作品の世界に入り込んだ気分で、楽しむことができました。期間中に再訪したいと思います。
