    日本画のコレクションが多く、見応えがありました。 ロビーから見えるお庭もとても綺麗に整備されています。 お庭には建物の外から回って入ることが出来て、入館料は不要です。

    (Translated by Google) It is based on the land, buildings, and works of art donated by Takejiro Otani in 1972, an art museum located in a quiet residential area from Hanshin Koroen Station in a short time. Since the special exhibition is scheduled annually, it may be better to go when you feel like it. After viewing the artwork, it is a must to see the wonderful garden behind it. It is recommended to listen to the gentle tone of "Suikinkutsu" in the garden. (Original) 阪神 香櫨園駅から閑静な住宅街を歩いて抜けてもさほど時間掛からない場所に在る美術館、1972年 大谷竹次郎から寄贈された土地、建物、美術品を基礎としたものです。企画展が年間スケジュールされているので、気が向いた時に行くのが良いのかも。美術品を観覧した後は、裏手の素晴らしい庭園を見るのがマストです。庭に在る「水琴窟すいきんくつ」の優しい音色を聴くのがお薦めでし。

    おいしいボタニカル・アート展を見に訪問しました。 香櫨園の駅から歩いて訪問しましたが、なぜここに美術館が⁈というような場所で、いい意味で驚かされました。 元々は会社の創業者の方のお屋敷と庭を市役所に寄付したものだと聞き、なるほどと合点がいきました。 荷物を預けるロッカーも中にあるので、助かりました。 入館料やミュージアムショップの支払いはすべてキャッシュレス可能で、とても便利でした。次も面白い企画展があれば再訪したいと思います。

    (Translated by Google) Crazy Journey I went to see the strange world with my favorite son. There are many difficult Chinese characters in the explanation, and when I explained it, I was warned that I should refrain from using my own language. Children should also be charged an admission fee and have an earphone guide available for a fee if admission is possible. Also, I was careful not to touch the work, but I was always stuck like a security guard sticking to a shoplifter, and it was unpleasant from beginning to end. The garden is nice, the facility itself is very good, and I think the planning is wonderful, but I feel that it is a waste. There is a cafe, and the art latte was very exciting and my son was very happy. (Original) クレイジージャーニー好きな息子と奇界世界を見に行きました。 説明文に難しい漢字が多く、説明していると「私語は慎むように」と注意を受けました。 子どもも入館料を取り、入館可能にしているのならば有料ででもイヤホンガイドを用意しておくべきです。 また、作品に触らないようこちらも注意しながら閲覧しておりましたが、万引き犯に張り付く警備員のごとく常に張り付かれ、終始不快でした。 お庭も素敵で、施設自体はとても良いですし企画も素晴らしいと思いますが、それだけに勿体ないと感じます。 カフェが併設されており、アートラテにはテンションがあがり、息子も大変喜んでおりました。

    The museum itself is not large, but it has a wonderful garden attached to it. A cafe with a view of the garden is recommended.

    2024/2/13(Tuesday) Museum tour The location is about a 10 minute walk from Hanshin Korōen Station. If you come by car, there is a parking lot in front of the museum. The museum was created by donating the mansions and artworks of local entrepreneurs to the city. When you enter the front door, the garden opens up and catches your eye. The garden is very beautiful and wonderful. I went to see "The Beginning of Japanese Painting." It was great to be able to see Japanese paintings by famous painters representing Japan from the end of the Edo period to the Showa period. All of them are wonderful things. The scale of the exhibition was also just right. I didn't get tired because my head would get bloated if I took too much. You can also walk around the circular garden that surrounds the museum. The garden is well maintained, and at this time the plum blossoms were in full bloom. In particular, the wax plums were blooming in the garden, giving off a nice fragrance. For some reason, when I looked at a beautiful Japanese painting, I felt the same feeling as looking at a Buddhist statue, and my soul felt purified. I'm glad I visited and enjoyed the beauty of the garden.

    大谷記念美術館といえばボローニャ国際絵本原画展が大人気ですがそれ以外に行われる展覧会も素敵なものが多いです。マリメッコ、四谷シモン、蜷川実花、バウハウス、スイスデザインetc…。22年秋には大谷記念美術館50周年の特別展示があります。とても楽しみです。帰りは庭園を一回り、水琴窟の音を聞くのが好きです。

    Every year I visit the Bologna International Picture Book Exhibition, which is held from August to September. There aren't many people, so you can enjoy the view in peace. The garden is beautiful, and you can spend a relaxing time at the cafe inside while looking out at the garden.

    (Translated by Google) It's right next to National Route 43. quiet. There are two parking lots in front Convenient. After seeing the art exhibition, we will go around the beautiful garden. Once the garden leaves the building, Even those who do not enter the art exhibition can take a walk in the garden. This time "Ha World Picture Book Exhibition" It was colorful and cute or just a picture. Misha and Mitsumasa Anno Starting with posters and book illustrations From this year's writers Some may become very famous. (Original) 国道43号線のすぐそばに有るのに 静か。 駐車場も目の前に2ヵ所有り 便利。 美術展見た後は 綺麗な庭を巡ります。庭は一旦、建物から出るので 美術展に入らない人も庭散歩出来ます。 今回「は世界の絵本展」 カラフルで可愛いか絵ばかりでした。 ミシャや安野光雅さんも スタートはポスターや本の挿し絵がスタート 今回の作家さんの中から 超有名になる人もでるかも。

    毎年夏に実施されるイタリアボローニャ国際絵本原画展に行きました。 大人1,200円、西宮市民であれば200円引きとのこと。 各国の絵本の原画が展示されており大人も子どもも楽しめました。 絵本の販売も行っており、日本では買えない海外の絵本もありました。

    The contents of the museum changes (1000 yen) and can include some lovely art, but the outside garden (free) is just as beautiful. Just walk around the outside of the building to get there!

    A beautiful museum with free parking and staff on site to guide you where to park. There is even a beautiful japanese style garden behind the museum that is free to visit. I already highly recommend visiting just for that. My only complaint is that the staff standing in the exhibits was constantly following us around and staring at us, as if we are extremely suspicious (it was just me and my wife on a date), which was uncomfortable.

    In addition to the quality and breadth of the Japanese painting collection, I was also impressed by the greenery of the garden seen from inside the museum while feeling the sound of water.

    2023/08/26。 ボローニャ国際絵本原画展の観覧に訪れる。 ほぼ毎年来ますが、今年は物販スペースが拡大されていて喜ばしい限りでした。 夏休み中の(土)でしたが、混んでいるとは感じませんでした。 一昨年だったか、コロナの影響で、当地での開催が見送られたことがありました。 少し遅れて、他の開催地で観覧したのですが、西宮大谷ほど、しっくり来なかったです。 やっぱりボローニャは、大谷でこそ、なんやなぁ。そぅしみじみ思った次第です。

    Nice Japanese garden, but poorly run exhibition. Although it was a German exhibition, there was no other language than Japanese. Very backward.

    阪神本線香櫨園駅からすぐで、ロビーから見える庭も素晴らしい美術館です。お庭を散策してみたかったのですが、閉館ギリギリまで見ていたのと雨が降り出したので諦めました。また何か面白い企画があったら観に行きたいです
