安藤忠雄による建築、狭山池博物館へ。日本最古のダム式ため池である狭山池に関する展示は見せ方がとても上手で、そこまで池に興味がない私でも充分楽しめました。無料で見学できるというのも珍しいのでは。
建物に沿って勢いよく流れる水と無機質なコンクリートの対比は、安藤さんならではで、遠路はるばる来たかいがありました。

Osaka Prefectural Sayamaike Museum is designed by Tadao Ando. The exhibition is about Sayamaike pond next to the building. Even though I am not a big fan of the pond, I enjoyed it. Admission fee is free, which is very rare for Japanese museum but it is a good thing.
The contrast of the concrete wall and running water is Ando's significant style. It is quite long way from the town but definitely worth going there.
