北信のもう一つの観光名所、高橋まゆみ人形館の２０１３年度の予定も来ました。高橋まゆみさんの作っている人形は凄い。その表情。その雰囲気。田舎の時代の知らないのんきな生活を表現する。
２０１０年に開館した人形館を見た事がなければ、是非行ってみてください。
見た事が既にあれば、下記の様に展示が変わるのでまた足を運べば良いと思う。
高橋まゆみ人形館は理由にして北信を巡れば良いかも。

Here's the 2013 schedule for another of Northern Nagano's must-see spots: the Mayumi Takahashi Museum of Doll Art.
These aren't toy dolls to play with, they are works of art. Art that catches the essence of the carefree lifestyle of the people in the Japanese countryside, a lifestyle that seems to know no age.
This museum dedicated to Mayumi-san's art was opened in 2010. If you've never seen it, you have to. And if you've already been there, you should go again to see these new exhibits.
Use the Mayumi Takahashi Museum of Doll Art as an excuse to explore northern Nagano.

2013.3.28 - 2013.9.24
高橋まゆみ～人形との出会い
本人の創作人形のスタートから人形館の開館へ辿り着いた道の紹介。（その途中はこの千曲市の稲荷山蔵し館の個展もあった。そこで私が本人の人形と出会った。）
Mayumi Takahashi's Doll Art Encounter
Display shows the road Takahashi-san took from first starting out with doll art to opening her own museum.
(Along the way, she had an exhibit here in Chikuma City at the Inariyama Kurashikan. That was where I first encountered her art.)

2013.9.26 - 2014.3.25
