府中市美術館 / Fuchu Art Museum

学校の授業で府中市美術館を見学。夏休み中とあって子ども向けの展示をしていたのですが、驚愕・・・。これがすごいのです！
展示している作品自体は静物画だったり、抽象画だったりと、まあ普通。でも子ども向けに美術館を探検できるように展示をつくってあって「この絵にはどんな動物がかくれている？」「聞こえるのはどんな音？」ととにかく想像力をあおったり、クイズに答えたり、お絵描きしたりと、楽しみながら学べる工夫が盛りだくさん。
小学生以上の子どもがいる人には絶対にオススメです。

I went to Fuchu Art Museum. The exhibition was composed for kids who are on summer holiday in Japan. And it was surprisingly good.
The paintings such as landscapes, still lifes or ukiyoe were nothing special but I was amazed by how they were presented. There are questions on the panels hung next to the paintings asking "Which animal is hiding in this landscape?" or "What can you hear from this painting?" to provoke kid's interest. I normally hate the immatureness of Japanese culture but this exhibition actually works as art education for kids and maybe for adults, too.
I definitely recommend families visit here. It is all in Japanese but...
