京都國立美術館（09-04）

In contrast to Ando's 陶版名畫庭 which is much more interesting, this museum by 搷文彥 has quite elegant details (but at times seem excessive). I, in particular, like the japanese-paper treated glasses, i.e. two glass panels with a layer of japanese paper-like fabric sandwiched in. It gives the flasses a very elegant texture.

The lobby of this museum reminded me of the National Gallery designed by I.M. Pei at Washington, D.C. However, this lobby is a rather dead space where the only activity is passing through (walk by) to special exhibition.
