😠 群馬県草津にあるこの施設は、今まで回ったどのハンセン病関連の資料館の中で一番質が悪い。入館時に『どこからきたのか？』、『この施設をどこで知ったのか？』等、不要だと思われる質問を執拗にされ、初回からの説明は一切なく全て映像によるもので、その内容もハンセン病患者達に対する謝罪というよりも事実を羅列したも...

EXPO '70 Pavilion (Old Steel Pavilion)

😐 This is a facility that comprehensively explains the Osaka Expo. We carefully display the history, exhibitions, and results leading up to the holding. A pamphlet of the Soviet Union pavilion was displayed in a glass case, and I couldn't help but think that I chose it for some reason, but for those...
